Halloween events abound in Dartmouth this month

Evenings are getting dark earlier in Dartmouth, ever more reason to get out and enjoy some seasonal events.

For a warm belly as the nights grow colder, the Downtown Dartmouth Food Crawl is back on October 23! This is a self-guided tasting tour through the streets ofx Downtown Dartmouth between 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., where local businesses offer a special and folks get to come and enjoy! Head out early, for the best treats often sell out.

If, however, you are seeking spine-tingling chills, then head over to join the** Ghostly Gala at the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm** on Sunday, October 26, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.!  Prepare for a truly spooky experience as storytellers recite ghostly tales and spooky stories. There will be a bonfire in the farmyard, and three story locations: the ghostly Giles House, the spooky Settle Barn, and the haunted Harris House. Costumes are encouraged, and fireside beverages and treats are available (tickets required, age 10+). 

For a musical Halloween, over at the Woodside Tavern on October 30, the Global Centric Brass Band is inviting you to its Halloween extravaganza. This Nova Scotian seven-piece, New Orleans-style group are hosting a Mardi Gras Masquerade Party, a “Spooktacular” time with lots of “thrilling” music, door prizes and best mask contest. Don’t be scared — and don’t forget your mask!
