Scarecrows and ghostly guests haunt the brick-lined streets of the South Main Historic District, where Legends & Lanterns resurrects the vintage charm of early 20th-century Halloween. The festival draws on Victorian customs, historical rituals, and classic American ghost stories for a weekend of family-friendly frights.
