Count Dracula may not live full time in Transylvania County, but we’re pretty sure he clears his schedule every year for Heart of Brevard’s Halloweenfest, the trickiest, treat-iest, most spooktacular celebration around.
This “fang-tastic” event features FREE family-friendly fun, including bounce houses, our traditional costume competition and parade, the Magic Book Bus, a hula hoop dance party, the LEAF Easel Rider, food vendors and more. Join us for this amazing event and explore downtown Brevard’s businesses through a downtown Spooky Stroll Open House and downtown trick or treating!
This year’s event will be held on October 28th, 10am-5pm, in the Heart of Brevard.

New this year – Think Local pricing!
Everyone is encouraged to apply. Selected vendors are based on, but not limited to, the following criteria:
- Our desire to offer a diverse, quality assortment of food/craft and retail options.
- Rotation of previous vendors with new vendors to allow someone new an opportunity to vend as well as new options for our festival patrons.
- Do you have previous history with us? Previous participation in Heart of Brevard events does not guarantee a space in future festivals.
- Do you sell seasonal merchandise? Do you offer halloween costumes, masks, etc.? Apply for our spooktacular event.
