Brighton Celebrates Halloween

Get ready for the holidays this coming weekend in downtown Brighton! Start with a spook-a-licious Cemetery Tour sponsored by the Brighton Area Historical Society. Registration is required, and the cost is a reasonable $5 for the tour.

This deliciously frightful tour begins 9 p.m. Saturday, October 29th. A guide dressed in costume will walk you through the Old Village Cemetery—in the dark, of course—near the Millpond gazebo. Gruesome? You bet – come and learn how several early Brighton settlers met their deaths. Watch out for ghosts!

Too far to walk around the neighborhood? Live in the country with no suburbs? Join the fun on Halloween night, October 31st, from 6 until 9 p.m. at the Brighton Area Fire Department Station 31 – this is an annual event at 615 West Grand River Avenue.

Bring the kids and the pets in their costumes for pizza, cider and donuts, candy and plenty of fun games. The contest judging will begin at 8 p.m. for the Most Original, Scariest, Funniest, Prettiest and Best Overall costume. And FREE – that’s the best part!
