Sturbridge, M.A. – Phantoms by Firelight, formerly Phantoms & Fire, will return to Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) for 13 nights of spooky fun, Oct. 7–31, 2022. The Halloween program has been a fan-favorite event for the past two years, this year returning with new performances, activities, and events for visitors of all ages. Advance tickets for OSV members go on sale Friday, Sept. 2.
As the sun sets at Old Sturbridge Village, guests are invited to explore the myths and folklore of Halloween while navigating the museum by night. The event will offer crafts and games, storytelling by firelight, a spooky selfie contest, bonfires, water fires, torches, candlelight, festive food and drink, and more. Kids will delight in the return of Clues & Candy, a scavenger hunt-style experience around the Village that offers safe and fun trick-or-treating for families. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to show up in costume and show off their Halloween best.
In 2022, a mysterious troupe of performers will add to the fun as they take over the Village, bringing in gravity-defying acrobats, creepy conjurers, fate-tempting fire jugglers and more. These awe-inspiring performances will surprise and entice all who witness them.
On select nights, Oct. 8, 9, and 15, Thomas D’Agostino, author of A Guide to Haunted New England, will be at the Village signing copies of his work outside of the Miner Grant Store. Regarded as one of the region’s most well-known writers and investigators of the paranormal, D’Agostino and his wife have been extensively studying and investigating paranormal accounts for over 28 years. His book details the stories, folklore, haunted anecdotes and lingering spirits across all six states in New England.
Pre-sale tickets are available for members of Old Sturbridge Village starting Sept. 2. General admission tickets will go on sale to the public on Sept. 16. Tickets are $28 for adults and $14 for youth ages 4–17. Children three and under are free.
Phantoms by Firelight will take place on 13 nights in October, from 4:30-9:00 p.m., after the Village closes to daytime guests. Tickets and additional details can be found at: https://www.osv.org/event/phantoms-by-firelight-2022/.
