27th Annual Halloweenfest

Halloweenfest In Transylvania County!
October 31, 2009

The only other Transylvania is in Romania, so where else would you want to honor Halloween, but with us!?

Started by the Chamber of Commerce in 1982, Halloweenfest is celebrating its 26th year!

If baking is more your speed, enter the Proper Pot Apple/Pumpkin Bake-off and see who captures the judges’ favor.

The street festival begins at 10:00am. You’ll find plenty of fun for the family: Tiny Tot Pumpkin Bowl, Cookie Decorating, The Little Blue Choo, Inflatables, Eurobungee, Ghoulish Golf, & Spooky Hay Maze.

Families can also compete in the Costume Parade. Costume judging categories include: Best Infant, Best Comic Character, & Best Storybook Character.

If you haven’t gotten enough of your sweets, join in the Downtown Trick or Treat. Walk by the downtown businesses and street vendors and receive your candies and treats.

The Brevard Rotary Club's 28th Annual "Flight of the Vampire" 5K Race & Fun Walk ends the day at dusk (5:30pm) and this year they are expecting about 350 runners! Download a registration form.
