We’re committed to a weekend that is jaunty and spooky. Choose between a day of the dead or a night of duels (pianos that is). Hang with a ghost or a W.I.T.C.H. Whatever your tastes are, we’re here to guide you on your journey. Note: Most descriptions courtesy of event hosts and edited for clarity.

A Special Evening with W.I.T.C.H. at JME Soundstage
W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend To Cause Havoc) were the biggest rock band in Zambia in the 1970s and spearheaded a new genre dubbed Zamrock, fusing influences that ranged from the Rolling Stones to Black Sabbath and James Brown and mixing them with traditional African rhythms and bush village songs. At the peak of their popularity, the band often needed police to keep fans at bay while their lead singer Jagari – whose name is an Africanisation of Mick Jagger’s – riled up crowds by stage diving from balconies and dancing manically as the WITCH’s blend of psychedelic rock and African rhythms permeated the surrounding atmosphere. $35; 7 p.m.; 100 Festival Park Jacksonville, FL; wjct.org // @jmejaxmusic
