Nationwide Halloween, Arts and Community Events

Communities nationwide are offering a mix of seasonal Halloween attractions, arts, music and civic events this week for families, fans of scares, and cultural audiences. In Utah Valley, Sundance Resort is running a spooky moonlit lift ride with treats and hot chocolate, Springville will float pre-carved glowing pumpkins on Bartholomew Pond, and Camp Floyd is hosting a public paranormal investigation. Wisconsin Rapids events include the charity-focused Cliff Street Asylum haunted attraction (two paths), the Rafters’ Fall Festival with family activities and vendors, and the Miss Wisconsin Rapids pageant. Lancaster County’s weekend lineup features a two-tier haunted house, a Broadway Rave, the Keystone State Northern Soul Weekender, a large makers market, a beer festival and a free marimba concert. Vermont and surrounding New England listings spotlight comedian Stef Dag, an oil-painting solo show, the Traveling Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Festival, a Bluegrass Gospel Project reunion, film screenings with artist Q&As, plus community classes and drives such as an oil-painting series and the Wheels For Warmth tire drive; local outlets provide calendars, ticket links and donation information.
