BRIGHTON PARK — How would you like to travel back in time to the 1920s for a roaring Halloween bash?

Head to the Coco Club, the neighborhood's new speakeasy, for a "Great Gatsby"-themed party on Saturday.

To conjure up the swanky atmosphere of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, club owners encourage you to dig out the flapper dresses, suits and top hats for the celebration.

The shindig starts at 9 a.m. Saturday and rolls to 2 a.m. Reservations are suggested but not required. You can RSVP here.

The Nite Hawks will be on stage to play blues tunes like "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "It was Only a Paper Moon," a song made famous by Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole.
