United Palace – Shaun of the Dead

Just in time for Halloween, this cult comedy classic follows the uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his roommate as they are disrupted by a zombie apocalypse.

Come dressed as the undead and you may be chosen to compete in our first ever Zombi-lympics, a series of terrifyingly ridiculous challenges to prove you can blend in with the worst Hell has to offer. Nothing builds community faster than a zombie apocalypse…except maybe a pint at the Winchester!

United Palace – THE MUSE: IGNITING YOUR LIGHT

THE MUSE: IGNITING YOUR LIGHT

An autumn gathering that invites us to kindle inspiration within ourselves and each other. Together, we’ll craft paper lanterns that symbolize our inner spark, carrying them into a walking meditation that winds through the shadowed halls of the United Palace. In this brief, glowing procession, we’ll reflect on the ways light guides us through darkness—both in our lives and in our communities. Our journey will then flow out into the Plaza de las Américas, where we’ll join the Community League of the Heights for the unveiling of Los Círculos, a luminous new art installation that celebrates connection and creativity. Come to honor your light, share in collective wonder, and step into a night of radiant transformation.
