Places to visit on Halloween

Michaela Kane

On Saturday October 31, kids all over the area will be filling the streets while they travel door to door.  Trick or treating goes from 5p.m.-7p.m. in Haverhill and surrounding areas, such as Lawrence, Methuen and Andover.  As people dress up in all different costumes this Halloween, there are a variety of events taking place in this area.

One way Haverhill is getting ready for Halloween is by having the Halloween Trail at East Town Park on October 30.  With Free admission, families dress up in their favorite costumes and arrive at the trail for a night of fun.  Families arrive at seven to travel across the popular trail, encountering ghosts and ghouls along the way.

Another popular place to visit on Halloween is Screeemfest at canobie Lake Park.  Open on Fridays and the weekends, Screeemfest adds many attractions in spirit of the holiday, including haunted houses, laser tag, and various Halloween characters that roam throughout the park.  All rides are open and Rocktober Fest, live music played in tribute to various bands, will be taking place as well.

The famous town of Salem, Massachusetts is always busy on Halloween night.  All throughout October, an event known as Haunted Happenings takes place in the town, hosting numerous haunted houses, museums, Halloween shows, and costume contests.  One of the most attended spots is the Salem Witch Museum, the best place to learn about the 1692 witch hysteria.  It includes tours and information sessions, and sells out very quickly.

There are countless places to be this Halloween, all in this area.  So as Halloween approaches, pick your favorite place to be, whether it is at an amusement park, or at home during trick or treating.
