As a slight chill comes to the air, and the leaves start to change, the witchy vibes of October also arrive… and with it comes many spooky season and Halloween events across the state for those of all ages. This year’s holiday also lands on a Saturday, giving fans of the season maximum opportunities to celebrate all month long.
