Further Halloween Info Downtown!
If you missed last edition's piece on Spooky Happenings Downtown,
do not fear (or do!), we have you covered. Here is a recap although
you can also visit www.visitdowntownfayetteville.com for a full list
of downtown Halloween related and spooky events from trick or
treating and hay rides to zombies and haunted tours. Also, if you need
zombie make-up tips, last minute costume ideas or even more
information on what is going on this fun-filled October, check out the
Downtown Fayetteville Pinterest (www.pinterest.com/downtownfaync)!
Dogwood Fall Festival: New this year to
Downtown Fayetteville, the folks behind the
Dogwood Festival, are bringing much buzz to
Halloween activities on Oct. 23-25 as they feature
not only their traditional Historic Haunting hayrides and support the
4th Friday Zombie Walk, but also are hosting the Lafayette Asylum haunted house tour (super scary!), the Boo
& Brew beer garden, live music, kid's activities, a food truck rodeo and more! For more information, visit
www.faydogwoodfestival.com.
4th Friday Zombie Walk!: You might see zombies on TV, but downtown has the real costumed deal when
zombies come out for a procession down Hay Street this 4th Friday, Oct. 24. The ever popular, yet extremely scary
event brings the masses down in costume and makeup to revel in, well, all things zombie. There will be music
hosted by The Rock Shop and the fun with the Dogwood Fall Festival afterwards in Festival Park. For more
information, visit www.therockshoplive.com.
Halloween Activities at the Museum of the Cape Fear Complex: The Poe House Victorian Halloween is
being featured at scheduled times now until Oct. 31 with a free tour to learn about the Poe House and traditional
Halloween decor. And from Oct. 17-18 and 24-25, celebrate Hallowe'en Revels featuring actors portraying
members of the Poe Household for a true Halloween themed tour. Tickets are $3 for ages 7 and up (children 6 and
under, free). Tours run every 20 minutes until 9 p.m. Of course, if that was not enough, the Poe House Trick or
Treat will be held Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a costume contest ($1 entry fee), scavenger hunt and
traditional Halloween carnival games. Visit www.ncdcr.gov/ncmcf for more information.
Downtown Fayetteville Trick or Treat!: The merchants of the
Fayetteville Downtown Alliance will be treating pint-size ghosties
and ghouls with candy delights (as supplies last) on Friday, Oct. 31
from 4 to 6 p.m. Come bring your children dressed in the Halloween
best for a safe, well-lit place to Trick or Treat! New this year, the
Downtown Alliance is also adding opportunities for photos of your
children (in costume!!) so bring a bit of pocket money for a lifetime
of memories. For more information, visit www.faydta.org.
Have fun, be safe and watch out for the undead downtown!
