The 13th Halloween Iron Pour: The Lost Yard
October 20th, 2018
5-9 PM

Join the Steel Yard on Saturday, October 20th for Providence’s raddest & hottest Halloween party… The 13th Annual Halloween Iron Pour…THE LOST YARD!


The 13th Annual Iron Pour is sponsored by Revival Brewing Company, BankRI, RISCA – Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, RISD, Cross Insurance, Pannone Lopes Deveraux & O’Gara

What is the Iron Pour?
We’re transforming our entire hill into a theatrical display of fire and art. Our trained Pour crew will harness the power of our custom-built iron tilt-furnace to pour over 2,500 pounds of luminous, molten iron. Larger than life sculptures will be activated by fire and the molten metal. People return annually not only for the sparky performance and the numerous steel and iron props that we build in our own studio, but also for the phenomenal local music and food.


Do you have pictures from last year?
Most definitely! Check out these super rad photos courtesy of James Lastowski from last year! Click here!
Other than the fiery display of a PERFORMATIVE IRON POUR- will there be other entertainment?
Yes indeed! There will be  Live music & entertainers, including The Firefly Caravan LLC, (FIRE DANCERS) Unkle Thirsty (SUPER AWESOME DJ) and special guests MorganEve & friends from the Huntress and Hold of Hands!
