Battle Creek Metal Show Adds Toiletries Drive for Love Thy Neighbor

A Battle Creek concert is pairing a heavy-music lineup with a practical way to help neighbors. Hallow's Eve Hell 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at The Music Factory, with a toiletries collection announced for Love Thy Neighbor pantry.

The organizer's official ticket page confirms the date and venue at 191 Angell Street in Battle Creek. It lists the event beginning at 6 p.m. and currently shows general admission at $21.20 including 6 percent sales tax. Check the final checkout total and current terms before purchasing.

Bring something useful with your ticket

According to the Battle Creek Enquirer's September 25 announcement, the collection is intended to help with personal-care needs beyond the group's usual food donations. Requested items include toilet paper, toothbrushes, face wipes, travel-size soap and travel-size shampoo.

The same announcement describes a costume contest, food truck and silent auction as part of the planned evening. It reports music beginning at 6:30 p.m. The organizer's main page confirms 6 p.m. doors, so arriving for the earlier time is the way to allow room for admission before the reported music start.

Use the organizer's current lineup

Michigan Metal Fest's website currently lists Nail Bite, Approaching Autumn, Magg Dylan and Wisher. That list differs from the newspaper's earlier announcement. The organizer's page is the better starting point for checking which bands are currently advertised.

For readers, this is also a reminder to check an event's own page again close to the date. A concert announcement helps you discover the outing, while the organizer and ticket seller are the places to confirm the final details that affect your purchase.

A simple way to plan your contribution

If you want to donate, choose a few items from the published request and keep them together with your concert plans. New, unopened packages are a sensible choice for personal-care supplies. If you have a larger donation or something outside the listed items, ask the organizer whether it can be accepted before bringing it.

You do not need to guess what would be useful. A package of toothbrushes or a few travel-size toiletries follows the stated request. If friends are going together, consider choosing different requested items so your group's contribution includes a small variety of supplies.

Before leaving, confirm admission requirements, the donation drop-off arrangement and any questions about costumes or accessibility. Keep donation planning separate from your admission purchase unless the organizer explicitly says otherwise; the announcement does not promise that bringing toiletries replaces a ticket.

For a group outing, send everyone the same official ticket link and meeting time so an older announcement does not leave someone following a different schedule.
