Ashland Halloween


  • Ashland Virginia United States (map)

The mysteries of Ashland's historic district come alive for Halloween! Local businesses host quaint and quirky events, while picturesque Victorian homes take on a spooky glow for 31 days of dastardly delights in downtown Ashland.

The Downtown Ashland Association presents a calendar of haunted happenings from October 1–31. With over 20 spooktacular events already on the docket—and more creeping up—you’re in for a fang-tastic time in the Center of the Boo-niverse.

Weekend Whimsy!

Seriously spooky specters haunt the streets on Fridays and Saturdays! Get into the spirit with Adult Trick-or-Treating at trackside bars, catch horror movies at Ashland Theatre, and sink your teeth into some brews at the Off the Rails Craft Beer Festival on the lawn at Hanover Arts & Activities Center.

Spooky Lights Tour!

Take a stroll (or should we say a creep) through the Ashland Spooky Lights Tour and enjoy terrifyingly beautiful Halloween displays around historic downtown Ashland. Whether you drive, walk, or hop aboard the train, these boo-tiful sights are not to be missed!

Halloween Market Madness!

Mark your calendars for the Ashland Halloween Market on October 31! Vendors offering art, food, and spooky crafts will line the streets of downtown. Whether you're on the hunt for a frightful piece of art or a witchy treat, you're sure to find spine-tingling delights around every corner.

Ghoulish Scavenger Hunt!

On Halloween night, young ghouls and goblins flood downtown for a spook-tacular scavenger hunt from 5–8 PM. Be sure to visit local haunts, snag stamps, and fill up your card before heading back to the Ashland Town Hall Pavilion to claim your illuminated prize. Plus, Ashland Halloween volunteers will be on hand to welcome visitors and dole out prizes in this fa-boo-lous event!

Kooky Karaoke!

While you're out haunting the Ashland Halloween Market, don't miss the kooky karaoke at Ashland Town Hall Pavilion! Unleash your inner monster with a song of your choice—it's like the Masked Singer, but with an extra dash of spooky spirit in the Center of the Boo-niverse. Whether you're belting out Thriller or cheering on fellow creatures of the night, it's sure to be a howl!
