Email Verified Halloween fun for kids and adults
This is an event hosted by town merchants and the elementary school PTO. The Main Street is blocked off for the event which includes a costume parade, costume judging, music and dancing, performances (magic and musical), a Halloween scavenger hunt, Halloween themed carnival games, and a walk through the Laurel Hill cemetery (decorated with spooky scenes). Early hours are great for young kids (no aggressive scaring) but later times include jump scares. It is a fundraiser for the PTO with some pay for play activities and some that are free.
