Sturbridge, M.A. – Tickets for Phantoms by Firelight at Old Sturbridge Village are on sale now to the general public, with early bird rates available through Sept. 30.

Phantoms by Firelight invites guests 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, 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. A special book signing with Author Thomas D’Agostino will take place on select event nights.

 

Spooky snacks and treats will be available for purchase during the event, including cider donuts, pumpkin pie trifle, chocolate chip cookie trifle, soups, sandwiches, and more.
