Hold On To Your Broomsticks: Greenport Halloween Event Unfolds Soon

GREENPORT, NY — A spooky and spectacular Halloween event returns this weekend as the Greenport Business Improvement District hosts its 4th Annual Greenport Halloween Village.

In collaboration with the Village of Greenport, the event, which takes place on Saturday, October 28, will kick off with the 11th Annual Halloween Parade at 11 a.m.

Parade line-up takes place at 10:30 a.m. at the Floyd Memorial Library. Participants can march along with all the princesses, super heroes, goblins and ghouls as they follow the Greenport Fire Department’s antique Fire Engine #33 down Main Street to Mitchell Park.

Carousel rides will be free from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

From noon to 3 p.m., Greenport businesses will host trick or treating, as well as a Scavenger Hunt, which returns with "Skeletons In Our Closets". Both children and adults will make their way around the village and find the numbered skeletons in establishment windows, displays and "just about anywhere." Forms can be found around the village as well as here.

In addition, Lisa Dabrowski brings “Lizzie Borden” to life with "her tale of woe," organizers said. "Watch for her to appear throughout Greenport Village with hatchet in hand!"

Miss Vicky, head of children and family services at the Floyd Memorial Library, will host Story Time for kids of all ages at the Blue Duck Bakery Courtyard at 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. The North Fork Kid Connect, Inc. will be at the Polo Grounds, "Fireman’s Row" for Trunk or Treat from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

"Plenty of restaurants and eateries will be open for nibbles and boos for adult phantoms and their little beasts," organizers said. "Enjoy many Halloween-themed foods, goodies and specialty drinks for the unafraid."

The rain date for the event is Sunday, October 29.
