Phantoms by Firelight returns to Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) this weekend on Oct. 7, 8, & 9 from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. As the sun sets on the Village grounds, guests are invited to explore the myths and folklore of the Halloween holiday, participate in crafts and games, storytelling by firelight, a spooky selfie contest, bonfires, water fires, torches, candlelight, festive food and drink, and more. Kids and families can delight in the return of Clues & Candy, a scavenger hunt-style, trick-or-treat experience, and visitors of all ages are encouraged to show up in costume and show off their Halloween best.
New this year are performances never seen at OSV before, as a mysterious troupe of performers take over the Village, bringing in gravity-defying acrobats, creepy conjurers, fate-tempting fire jugglers and more.
