Two good events are coming up in Fort Point that we like here at ONEin3 HQ, one for the kids and one for the adults, both on October 28th:
Fort Point Pumpkin Pageant & Celebration
Local businesses enter the friendly Pumpkin Carving Contest by carving pumpkins and displaying them in front of the Boston Children’s Museum on Thursday, October 28th from 12-4PM where children and adults can vote for the best pumpkin! Children are also invited to carve and decorate their own pumpkins while enjoying face painting and complimentary fall treats and refreshments. Costumes are more than welcome! Afterwards, The Barking Crab will be hosting the Fort Point Pumpkin Pageant Celebration where the winner will be announced and live band, Java Jive will be playing from 6-9PM. Hosted by Friends of Fort Point Channel, special thanks to the Boston Children’s Museum, Old Town Trolley’s, and the Barking Crab.
For more info please contact Friends of Fort Point Channel.
Halloween on the Harbor, Adult Trick-or-Treating
South Boston Waterfront hotels, restaurants, and bars will be hosting Halloween on the Harbor the evening of Thursday, October 28th from 6:30 - 10 p.m. Old Town Trolleys will shuttle patrons to 13 participating venues where Halloween festivities, contests, and refreshments will be taking place. $5 for endless trolley rides to benefit the Friends of Fort Point Channel.
The Second Glass is run by Boston Young Entrepreneurs superstars Morgan First and Tyler Balliet. They are awesome.
Wine Riot is their marquee event and it is especially awesome. Think big circular room filled with all sorts of great wine that you can try out and an entire room full of cool, interesting people who also happen to be knowledgeable about wine.
Bottom line: this event is amazing and it showed at their April edition, which was a 100% sellout.
This time around it’s even better because 90 + Cellars, a local Boston winery that’s pretty cool in its own right, is sponsoring the Wine Riot Lounge and will be pouring a set of Wine Riot label wines which will blow your mind.
If I tried to highlight everything at Wine Riot, this blog would turn into a novella, but suffice it to say there will be a DJ, Taza chocolate, a photo booth, temporary (and probably real) tattoos, a roving wine intelligence unit and a lot more. You should go.

PS. The Second Glass has a brand new site launched in time for Wine Riot. The new site (and mobile site, which is way more convenient in the moment) makes it easy to remember the wines you like or dislike so you can buy/avoid them the next time you’re at the liquor store. It’s pretty cool, check it out.
