Time for the Annual Festival of Ghost Stories

The days grow short and the time comes again for spooky stories told in the long dark night...

Join us for the Annual Festival of Ghost Stories,
Friday, October 26, from 7 to 8:30 pm
in Bryan Park by South Henderson Street in Bloomington.

A Halloween-time tradition for more than 30 years, the Festival of Ghost Stories features haunting tales of ghosts and horror that will tingle the spine. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, dress warmly, and avoid the chill as seasoned storytellers spin their tales in the dark.


 Best suited for adults, teens, and older school-age children. Not appropriate for younger children.

In case of inclement weather, the Festival of Ghost Stories will be held at the Monroe County Public Library. For weather updates, call the Community Events Hotline at 349-3754.

This community partnership event is presented by the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department; the Monroe County Public Library; and the Bloomington Storytellers Guild.
