October in Depot Town: Where the Strange & Wonderful Come Out to Play!
Step into a whirl of delight every Weekend night this October in historic Depot Town! We’ve conjured up a month-long celebration packed with chills, thrills, and one-of-a-kind fun for all ages:
- Mini-Haunted Caboose & Selfie Booth: The historic caboose transforms into a spook-tacular haunt—perfectly creepy (but not too scary) for little ghouls and grown-ups alike! Fridays, 6:30–9pm (except Halloween).
- Phantoms Trail Treasure Hunt: Embark on a riddle-filled adventure across Depot Town! Pick up your first clues at any participating shop and solve your way through games, puzzles, and surprises—do it all in one night or savor the hunt all month long until the 25th.
- Live Entertainment Every Weekend:
- October 18 – The A7 Marching Band brings the beat
- October 11 – Jimmy the Magnificent wows with magic
- October 11 – Balloon animal workshops, fire dancers, and street performers
- October 25 – The inaugural Depot Town Cat Crawl—costumes encouraged!
- Costume Contests, Scary Movies & More:
- Catch cult-classic scary movies on the Sidetracks patio (Saturdays)
- Watch haunted skeletons roam the historic streets, scope out the beautiful decor (all month)
- Celebrate local talent at the Michigan Author Spotlight at This, That & the ODDer things (Sundays 5-7pm)
Every weekend brings new surprises and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re a family on the hunt for adventure, a lover of the strange and spooky, or just looking for something wildly fun—Depot Town is the place to be this October.
Don’t miss out—bring your friends, bring your family, and discover the magic, mystery, and mayhem waiting around every corner!
