You can just come for the afternoon. You can browse the booths, catch a show, grab a cider, and head home.

But we promise you:

When you spend the weekend with us—when you wake up in Halloween City and fall asleep under Catskills stars—something different happens. The weird becomes wonderful. The costumes become community. The ghosts start to feel like old friends.

And next year, you’ll bring more people with you.
