Hello Citizens, it’s everyone’s favorite time of the year already: The Haunted Harvest. This year our town has really pulled out all of the stops for this family fun Halloween and Autumn celebration.

The first weekend opens with our annual pumpkin carving contest. Participants will be placed in age groups, and the winner of each group will receive a gift certificate of their choice to one of our wonderful shops in town. These wonderful Jack-o-Lanterns will be lit and lined up around town to be used as decoration for the rest of our Haunted Harvest festival. There will also be face painting and fresh caramel corn making for the whole family. Throughout all three weeks live music and plays will be performed on the Main Stage. There will also be a variety of vendors and delicious autumn treats from around the world.

The second weekend of the festival will be ALL about Halloween. Friday night is our annual costume contest**. Participants will once again be split into age groups, and awarded prizes from Port Cival’s finest establishments. Saturday is our 6th Annual Treat the Streets. All of downtown and its businesses will be open for Trick or Treating. Be ready to take your kiddo on the best candy spree of their lives without worrying about school the next day. Finally we wrap up the weekend with some spooky, and some not so spooky, ghost stories and a Movie Night Under The Stars.

Halloween Night offers a wide variety of activities for the young and old. Trick or Treating around the neighborhoods of Port Cival will run from 4-7. All children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult, no exceptions. Following the candy gathering festivities there will also be a Movie Night Under the Stars showing Hocus Pocus followed by Friday the 13th. And for the adults: Brew Scream and the All Hallows Ball are there to delight your night.

Following the Halloween bonanza, Port Cival cozies into one of its most beautiful times of the year; Autumn. It’s a celebration of the gorgeous produce created right here Look out for hot fresh apple cider and warm cinnamon apple fritters to keep the chill away during another Movie Night Under the Stars; this time with a fall classic You’ve Got Mail. The Fall and Winter Farmers Market also begins this last week.

The last weekend of our Haunted Harvest takes our theme of Port Cival productions even greater and shines a light on all of our businesses. Anonymous Brewing Company will showcase some of its fine homemade ciders and wines with a taste testing night and Descanso is offering a cozy fall cooking classes, along with many others. We will close out the festival with a big bonfire to celebrate our wonderful town and the harvest we’ve had this year.

Looking for something a little spookier and grown up? Nightmares of the Port and Fright Nights begin the first day of the Haunted Harvest, and Grimm Village makes its debut the first Tuesday. These terrifying outings are perfect for the thrill seeker*. Each wonderfully horrifying event takes place in a different sector of the city and all have dates through the three weeks of the festival.
