All Hallows' Eve

All Hallows' Eve can be spooky, especially for Asheville kids who venture into the cemetery this night. A witch, a pirate, a werewolf, and a vampire play hide and seek among the gravestones as they visit the graves of some well-known Ashevillians.

Come join the fun and learn a bit of local history along the way.
