Join us on October 29, 2026, at Montana Nights in Putnam for a special Halloween-themed community event featuring live music, axe throwing, local celebrity bartenders, tasty treats, raffles and prizes.

This event is being held in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to raise funds for United Services’ Domestic Violence Programs. October is a time to shine light on an issue that too often remains hidden behind closed doors. In partnership with Smoke & Mirrors Beauty Loft and Montana Nights, this gathering will blend seasonal atmosphere with a powerful purpose: raising awareness about domestic violence and highlighting the critical resources available right here in northeastern Connecticut.

Halloween is known for masks and illusions. For many survivors, however, fear, manipulation, and silence are not costumes — they are daily realities. On this evening, we will work together to “unmask” the truth about domestic violence, break stigma, and ensure survivors know they are not alone.

Text EndDV to 50155 and help build awareness and strengthen community-wide support to end emotional abuse and domestic violence through dance, visibility, and community connection. All money raised goes to USI Domestic Violence Programs and Services.
