Saturday: walk and run for breast cancer, Diwali carnival, Shanghaiist Halloween party
Did you know that Shanghai has the highest rate of breast cancer in China? Scary, huh? Want to change that? Venture to Century Park to run 5km or, if you're more laid back, walk 4.3km to raise money for the China Breast Cancer Foundation. To register online go to www.infinitumsports.com.

If you can't wait for Hallows eve, why not spend the day celebrating Diwali, the Indian festival of lights. The Indian Association is throwing down a huge party in celebration and you can expect it to be very lively. There will be fashion shows, jewelry and clothing vendors, games, and yummy Indian food to sample. The Desi band AURKO is playing too and apparently they have "high voltage live performances, adrenalin fueled vocals, pulsating rhythm with refreshing melody." Sounds like a good start to a crazy night

We know there's about a million Halloween parties to choose from in Shanghai, but we all know which one is going to throw it down the hardest - Shanghaiist and Not me. Join us for the most memorable night of the year. If you know the cool thing to do, you'll be there at 8pm for the zombie walk and then continue the celebrations at Not Me where MNO, R3, Baijiu Robot and Kidplastik will be playing. Don't forget to show up in your most original outlandish costume.

Sunday: Xiu Jiye and Tenderhook
If you've made it through the weekend revelry and are looking to a more laid-back cultural experience check out Xue Jiye's new solo exhibition at Art Scene Warehouse. He's one of China's most famous contemporary artists so hopefully his exhibit won't disappoint. It's oil paintings and sculpture showcasing his wild imagination of crazy creatures, scenarios, and places.
11am - 6:30pm Art Scene Warehouse, 2/F, Bldg No 4B, 50 Moganshan Road, 莫干山路50号4号楼B 座2层

Or, if you're still in a dancing mood after the weekend, then don't miss the Scottish dance theatre's show Thunderhook. They are in Shanghai for one night only performing this three-part modern dance. Each part choreographed by a different artist and are said to be wildly different. The 10 member dance troupe is supposed to perform "exciting, original, and accessible" pieces. Guess we'll see for ourselves.
