HauntFest’s springtime spooky celebration is back, featuring macabre vendors of art and oddities, food and drink vendors, themed activities, haunted attractions and more. Amongst HauntFest’s wide range of activities are a car showcase, scavenger hunt games, creature encounters, Terror Trivia, crafts, book signings and ghost stories from local authors, body painting and even a trail of terror to visit after sunset. Live music is also an important aspect of the event; the lineup for Friday includes The Lazy Ghouls, Parking Garage, Vüdü Revival, Sorta Spooky, Murder the Mood, Sweet Meteor of Death and Persona Machine. On Saturday, Kyle Lewis is a Boring Name, Garden Variety Band, Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles, Hella Stellar Band, Rae & The Ragdolls and Husk will be performing. Finally, Back Room Revival, TC Costello, Fletcher Roberts, Karma Kat and Once Below Joy will perform on Sunday. In signature HauntFest fashion, the festival’s monsters and freaks will be released into the crowd to interact with patrons throughout the weekend, but those who are scared can pick up ghoul-gone glow necklaces to ward them off.
