Fish Creek Hosts Annual Jack-O-Lantern Days

A hometown Halloween celebration is in store for Fish Creek’s annual Jack-O-Lantern Days, October 28 – 30. The fun-filled weekend highlights will include mask making for kids, pumpkin carvings, a Halloween parade, trick-or-treating, and costume parties for both kids and adults.

On Saturday from 10 am – 1 pm, kids can gear up for the parade by making their own mask at Peninsula School of Art free of charge. All in costume are welcome to participate in the Haunting Halloween Parade down Main Street. Participating floats, cars, walkers, adults, kids, and even pets are encouraged to show up prior to the 2 pm start outside Fish Creek’s Information Center/ Post Office.

After the parade, little ghosts and goblins will hit the streets for town-wide trick-or-treating until 5 pm. Fish Creek businesses will be stocked with candy and sweet treats. From 4 – 6 pm families can swing by the Old Town Hall for a goodie bag and a Kid’s Halloween Celebration.

As the moon rises, mummies and witches will creep into Bayside Tavern for their infamous Costume Party and Contest – a Fish Creek Halloween tradition that continues to draw a festive crowd.

Creative carvers can jumpstart the weekend with pumpkin carving at Bayside Tavern Thursday night. Friday and Saturday, Hands on Art Studio will host their first annual Jack O’ Lantern Blaze, a free pumpkin carving event for kids and adults, ending with a lighting ceremony at 5:30 pm on Saturday.

Door County Trolley offers their popular Ghost Tours both Friday and Saturday nights.
