It’s that time of year again…time moves so quickly!  Get out your boots, sweaters and HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!  For the unenlightened, the community of Irvington hosts an annual Halloween Festival…they actually close Washington Street for the day!

2016 marks the 70th Anniversary of the Festival, for 69 years, the Historic Irvington Halloween Festival has brought together thousands of residents, dozens of neighborhood organizations, and countless Eastside businesses in a fun-filled celebration of our heritage and community. The festival and its associated events are designed to bring awareness to the community, to bring commerce to local business and sponsors, and to provide fun for the children of Irvington and Indianapolis. The celebration now encompasses a week of events including a 5 mile run, a scholarship pageant, musicians, contests, Halloween-themed movies, storytelling, ghost tours, live theater, masquerade ball, a haunted puppet show and dozens of other events.

Take in an event this week…ghost tour anyone!  If you will be in the area be certain to let me know…I live in the heart of it all!
