This year's Festival of Frights on Saturday, October 28th, is shaping up to be a lot of spooky fun. 👻
At 2pm, we'll be hosting a kids' costume parade and contest! Starting at River Bookshop, kids will be lead trick-or-treating around downtown Amherstburg. At the end of the parade there will be a costume contest, and two winners will receive prizes!
Participating businesses include:
River Bookshop
Evelyn's Candy House
White Woods Home
The Panetteria
Richmond Popcorn Co.
Downtown Espresso Cafe
Pink Pisces
Terra Green Gardens
At 7:30pm, join us in the Creepy Corner (parking lot behind 67 Richmond!) for a showing of Tim Burton's classic The Nightmare Before Christmas. There will be spooky concessions as well, provided by Evelyn's Candy House, The Panetteria, and Richmond Popcorn Co. Bring your own blankets and chairs!
Also happening that day:
- Decorating Pumpkins, 3pm-7:30pm, behind River Bookshop
