A Community of Spirits:
The 2021 Halloween Season

October 27th, 2021

The chill in the air is a tell-tale sign of spooks, goblins, making their way into our midst. We feel creative sparks of the collective mind as children plan their costumes and homes and shops don fearsome decor. Halloween is a fascinating holiday with a rich and evolving history. The traditions we see today harken back to two millennia ago when the Celtic culture celebrated their New Year with the festival of Samhain. Bonfires were lit and children dressed up in costume to ward off the spirits that were a threat to the crops.

These days it is a time to gather and acknowledge the impending darker days of winter and to have a whole lot of fun with our children, neighbors, and friends. The traditions of bonfires and children in costume carries on, and we add to that trick-or-treaters, haunted houses, art festivals, and parties that encourage creative flair. There is no lack of opportunity to join the fun in our fully-embracing and festive region. Read on to learn about the eeriest weekend recreation for all ages!

Wishing you and yours a Happy Halloween! May it be your spookiest yet!
