Jonesborough’s Halloween Haunts and Happenings

Jonesborough’s Halloween Haunts and Happenings

Make plans to attend this year’s annual Halloween Haunts & Happenings event, which has been taking place in Downtown Jonesborough for over 40 years. Join us on Friday, October 25th starting at 6 p.m. with games, activities, contests and of course trick-or-treating that will continue until 9 p.m. Bring your furry friend down for the Spooky Pooch Palooza starting at 6 p.m. with a costume contest, treats and more for your four-legged companions.  Lots of fun activities and games for all ages will also be ongoing including barnyard train rides, pumpkin tic-tac-toe, scary-oke, a haunted house and more.

The popular Costume Contest will return at 7:30 p.m. in front of the Washington County Courthouse, sponsored by Food City.  The contest will have several age groups and a group category as well for those dressing as an ensemble. Starting at 8:30 p.m., we will offer the Haunted Flashlight Egg Hunt for children 10 and up in Jimmy Neil Smith Park behind the International Storytelling Center. Bring a flashlight and be ready to get spooked while searching for treat-filled eggs.

This year, parking will also be available at the Jonesborough Elementary School with a shuttle to the Jonesborough Visitors Center. Parking is $5 per car with free shuttle rides available back and forth. It is highly recommended that you utilize this option as parking will be very limited in the downtown area.
