Halloween Festivities 2024
Ghosts, wizards, superheroes, and mystical creatures will descend upon downtown White Salmon this upcoming Halloween night!
With the scent of pumpkin spice in the air and a blanket of fallen leaves covering the ground, White Salmon is ready to conjure up another spellbinding Halloween. Local residents and visiting spirits alike are invited to celebrate a night of tricks, treats, and enchantment in the heart of downtown on Thursday, October 31st.
As the moon rises and the winds carry whispers of past Halloweens, the streets will come alive with a parade of characters—classic specters, mischievous goblins, modern-day superheroes, and whimsical sprites. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of all things spooky or just in it for the fun, this year’s festivities promise to be a magical evening you won’t want to miss.
From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Jewett Boulevard (Hwy 141) will be closed to cars, transforming into a pedestrian-friendly haunt between Garfield Avenue and Estes Avenue.
