Until October 31st, you can take a trip to Jackson and explore the seven haunted mazes and five scare zones. But note that on the website, they warn that there’s no place to hide, so this event is not for the faint hearted!

You might say we know how to throw a party, and Halloween on Main (or Howl-o-Ween to our 4-legged friends) happens to be one of the best. The tricks and treats begin at 3 p.m. on Halloween Day. Remember to walk, bike, or bus!

This is a dog-friendly event, so if you’re into pooches and parades, this is the place for you! On the 31st October at 3:00-5:00pm, there’s a Trick-or-Treating session and at 5:00 p.m. there’s a Dog Parade on Lower Main Street for leashed and costumed dogs.
