Halloween Fright Fest is coming back to Florence and despite its name, it promises to be more fun than scary.
Fright Fest is a free event but make sure to bring extra money to buy food from vendors. The fest will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 31, in Downtown Historic Main Street.
“Fright Fest is a fun, and safe alternative for families to enjoy on Halloween. There will be numerous Trunk or Treat organizers that will be handing out candy. Our popular Costume Contest will begin at 6:30 p.m.,” said Alicia Marrufo, recreation coordinator for the town of Florence. “Many local businesses will be open for this event so patrons can check out their spooky décor as well as their wares. And there will be a variety of delicious food vendors to provide dinner and dessert for the whole family.”
