I love Halloween!
Halloween encourages us to reach back to the most primal of feelings about the dark of the year. It encourages us to think about times and people past. And it encourages creative thinking.
How do I celebrate Halloween? I usually trek out to some dark and rural corner of the world and I wonder if these are the sights and sounds that were a daily part of my ancestors' lives.
So what is there to do in the Delaware region for Halloween? Plenty!
Here are some events that I have discovered:
October 17,18,24,25 Spirits of Fort Delaware: A Night of Haunted Tales Delaware City, DE
October 17 Delaware Ghost Tours (Wilmington and Western Railroad)
October 18-19,25-26 Halloween Days and Spooky Knights Mount Hope Estate Winery, PA
October 20 Halloween Parade Middletown, DE
October 24-26 19th Annual Sea Witch and Fiddlers Festival Rehoboth, DE
October 25 Monsters of the Sea Day at the Zwaanendael Museum Lewes, DE
October 26 Halloween Express (Wilmington and Western Railroad)
October 26 Halloween Parade Newark, DE
October 29 Halloween Parade and Party Seaford, DE
October 30 Strasburg Lions Club Annual Halloween Parade Strasburg, PA
November 1 Dracula's Ball (Shampoo Night Club) Philadelphia,PA
You might also be interested in checking out farms that offer 'pick your own' apple orchards and pumpkin patches. Some farms may also have offerings such as 'build your own scarecrow' and the obligatory seasonal farm stand. I know of one farm, Quigleys, that offers 'haunted hay rides'.
Of course, this list would not be complete without mentioning Frightland, a seasonal amusement park in Middletown.
