What can I expect at New England Halloween Fest?

Guests can look forward to a wide variety of one-of-a-kind vendors offering Halloween and spooky-season merchandise you won’t find in retail stores, a paranormal museum featuring dozens of haunted artifacts, and a witch museum exploring the story of Alse Young—the first recorded person executed for witchcraft in the thirteen American colonies. The event also includes live pumpkin carving by professional artists, a pumpkin patch filled with stunning carved displays, panels, Halloween movie screenings, and appearances by select celebrities from your favorite Halloween films and TV shows.
