If you read last week’s Xpress Halloween roundup, you have a pretty good idea of the entertainment options for Friday, Oct. 31. But, it doesn’t hurt to have even more concerts, parties and goings-on to choose from. Here are a few late-breaking events:

• Westville Pub hosts a special Halloween trivia contest with house cash prizes for winners and a costume contest for house cash prizes. The game begins at 9 p.m.

• 48 Madison performs at Ed Boudreaux’s Bayou BBQ Halloween show.

• Garage at Biltmore features a Milestone party with costumes from 9-11 p.m. Agobe Project and Two Fresh play at 11 p.m.
