Halloween FEST in White Salmon – BOO 2023!
Ghosts, witches, superheroes, and even mythical creatures will haunt downtown White Salmon this All Hallows’ Eve! As the air grows crisp and leaves crunch underfoot, White Salmon prepares to cast its enchanting Halloween spell. Residents and apparitions (visitors, if you will) are summoned to partake in the Halloween festivities downtown on Tuesday, October 31st.
Amidst swirling mists and echoing laughter, this magical night promises a cavalcade of characters—from timeless phantoms and goblins to present-day superheroes and charming sprites. Lovers of spooks, fun, and all things Halloween, heed the call and join the annual bewitching downtown celebration.

What could lurk inside a trunk on the spookiest night of the year? Maybe a Frankenstein jumper cable? A witch’s first-aid kit? Or could it be ghosts, goblins, magic brooms, and creeping cobwebs? Wait, did we leave out the heaps of yummy candies?
Community Treats
Jewett Blvd between Estes Ave and Main Ave
Sorcerers, witches, and muggles alike—are beckoned to Jewett Boulevard to bestow treats upon eager little hands. We encourage everyone—individuals, groups, and businesses—to set up along Jewett Boulevard, hand out treats, and enjoy the best view of the costume parade. Please ensure all treats are commercially wrapped and sealed.
