Nightfall on South Main kicks off spooky weekend in Winchester

There are some sto­ries that only reveal them­selves after dark.

On the eve of Halloween (Friday, Oct. 30), some­thing curi­ous is hap­pen­ing down­town. From 6 p.m. to mid­night, the stretch between Court Street and Lexington Avenue will become the set­ting for Nightfall on South Main — an evening of strange tales, curi­ous com­pa­ny, and pecu­liar happenings.

Presented by Kettle & Quill, The Crystal Coven, and All Voices Reading Room, Nightfall will bring togeth­er local busi­ness­es, sto­ry­tellers, mak­ers, and unex­pect­ed guests for an autumn evening unlike any other.

What exact­ly awaits you after dark?

You’ll have to check out the event page on Facebook for answers, as orga­niz­ers con­tin­ue reveal­ing details in the days lead­ing up to the enchant­ed night. But the orga­niz­ers tell WinCity Voices that Friday night’s spooky fes­tiv­i­ties are for the adults.

The folks at The Crystal Coven are con­jur­ing up an expe­ri­ence all their own: Enchanted After Dark. Step inside the Cottage for an evening of tarot read­ings, witchy por­traits, deli­cious treats from 2 Dudes Baking LLC, cre­ative activ­i­ties, and a few sur­pris­es they’ve yet to reveal.

On Saturday Oct. 31, Halloween Mainia takes place on Main Street from 6 to 8 p.m., wel­com­ing kids of all ages for treats and fun. 

The weath­er out­look is great, and Main Street looks gor­geous at night, so make plans to attend these spook­tac­u­lar events.
