Get into the Halloween spirit with Walktober. There are ghoulish events for every age with many different levels of fright factor.

Walktober is in its 27^th year and is a program of The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV), the non-profit charged with promoting and advocating for the national heritage corridor’s unique resources.

“The Last Green Valley is filled with some of the best ghost stories you’ll ever hear,” said Lois Bruinooge, executive director of TLGV. “Walktober and Halloween were made for each other. But, if ghost stories are not what you’re looking for, there are still plenty of family-friendly Halloween themed events.”
