Safe & Spooky Halloween

Oct. 23| 3 – 8 PM

Trick-or-Treat through the shops and factories of the “haunted” Stonefield Village during this special family-friendly Halloween event for all ages. Grab your flashlight and treat bucket to investigate what goes bump in the night and see the site like never before. For the younger crowd, “Light Fright” is from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the ghouls are out and all bets are off!

This event is put on by the Friends of Stonefield and Nelson Dewey State Park. All proceeds support both entities.
