Welcome to Ashbury, a Victorian mountain village that wakes up every October for Spellbound, a Halloween festival built for the whole family.
Walk the haunted trail if you dare. Then come back to the village for horror trivia, street magic, and a cackling competition that gets louder every round. Kids have their own area with crafts and games, plus trick or treating through the village. Costume contests run for all ages, so come dressed.
Live performance fills the park all day. Fire dancers, musicians, and entertainers keep the village moving from afternoon into dark.
The Firelawn is where you land when you need a break. Fire pits, autumn air, and s'mores kits available for purchase.
Artisan vendors line the village lanes with oddities, apothecary goods, jewelry, candles, leather and gothic finery. Food and drink all day, including the village pub.
Admission stays low on purpose. Adults $15 teens 12 to 16 $5, children 11 and under free.
Presented by Rising Tide Theatrical Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park, 201 Gipsy Trail Road, Carmel, NY
