Spooky Season - Small Town Style

October in Elkin brings more than just crisp air and colorful leaves! October is a month filled with spooky fun, small-town charm, and plenty of Halloween spirit. You'll find an abundance of festive community events and Halloween season celebrations here in ole E-town. Here's your guide to making the most of spooky season in the best little town in NC.

Community Events with a Spooky Twist

Nothing says October in Elkin like gatherings that get a little ghostly. The Twisted Trails Halloween Light Show at Cypress Trails runs every weekend in October and it's a "spooktacular" spectacle full of graveyard mazes, two not-so-spooky halloween-themed trails, a "creepy" forest trail, halloween-themed yard games, a fire pit and more! Pop into the Elkin Public Library for Halloween-themed programs and story times, then bundle up for outdoor movie nights at the Elkin Municipal Park - Hocus Pocus is coming soon!

Fuel your spooky adventures with fall flavors along the way. Pick up pumpkins for carving (or baking) at Hawks Produce, sip seasonal brews from Milk & Honey Coffee Co. or River Roast Coffee Co., and finish the night with autumn cocktails or a themed pint at one of Elkin's cozy downtown spots.

Halloweekend Fun

When Halloween weekend hits, Elkin goes all out. Trick or Treat Main Street turns downtown into a candy-filled adventure for kids and kids at heart. Keep an eye out for pop-up Halloween parties, costume contests, and themed celebrations happening all over town- from storefront gatherings to neighborhood events.

Small-Town Charm

Part of what makes spooky season here special is the setting itself. Downtown businesses deck out their windows and sidewalks with clever, creepy decor, making Main Street the perfect place for a festive stroll and a few instagram-worthy shots. Wildflower Art Studio always brews up seasonal paint classes, and Two Creeks Pottery and Arts features some hauntingly fun Halloween-inspired October pop-in classes- perfect if you want to make your own keepsakes. Whether you're dressing up for Main Street, catching a scary flick, or heading to a live show at the Reeves Theater, there's no shortage of ways to celebrate.

A Season to Savor

With streets lined by glowing jack-o'-lanterns, cozy lights, and a community that goes all-in on decor, Elkin proves that small towns know how to celebrate Halloween in style. The events bring neighbors and visitors alike together in the best way. Halloweekend fills the streets with laughter and costumes, and the season leaves you with memories as sweet as the tricks and treats.
