Haunted Happenings in the Hub Boston’s Best Halloween Events
If you’re looking for Halloween fun this October, you’re in luck. From costume parties and trick-or-treating activities to spooky stories and haunted walking tours, Greater Boston has no shortage of Halloween-themed events for the whole family. Here are three local events to help you celebrate the spooky season Boston-style. PRUBOO AT THE PRUDENTIAL CENTER Get the kids dressed up and head to the Prudential Center for one of Boston’s favorite
Halloween traditions. The 31st annual PruBoo takes place on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., packed with festive fun. More than 30 participating shops and restaurants will be handing out candy, and the event features face painting, Halloween crafts, magic shows, and a live musical performance by The Stacy Peasley Band. All activities are free, but families can make a $5 donation to Boston Children’s Hospital to receive a special trick-or-treat bag. BEACON HILL WITH A BOO! If you’ve never seen Beacon Hill on Halloween, this is your year to change that. Boston by Foot’s “Boo!” tour dives into the hidden history of one of Boston’s most iconic neighborhoods. Your guide will lead you through shadowy alleys and gaslit streets while sharing stories of murder, mystery, and mayhem. Hear about the dismembered body of Dr. George Parkman, the Boston women accused of witchcraft, and the neighborhood’s
connection to ghost stories and serial killers. Running Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 at various times, the tour is creepy, local, and unforgettable. NIGHT IN THE STACKS AT BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY On Halloween night, the Central Library transforms into a moody, literary-themed party for adults 21 and up. Night in the Stacks runs from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. and features food, dancing, live music, and an open bar. Tarot card readers and a wandering haiku poet will add to the fun. Of course, there will also be plenty of spooky stories. The party also includes special access to the exhibit “Revolution! 250 Years of Art + Activism,” which opens the day before Halloween. Attendees are encouraged to wear costumes inspired by Gothic literature and local lore. Money raised from the event will support free programs and services at the Boston Public Library.
