Festival of Ghost Stories
FESTIVAL OF GHOST STORIES An inkblack night with jack-o-lanterns and fresh cider set the stage for an evening of live storytelling beneath the stars. A Halloween-time tradition for over 30 years, the Festival of Ghost Stories features haunting tales of ghosts and horror that will tingle the spine. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, dress warmly, and avoid the chill ... as seasoned storytellers spin their tales in the dark hollow at lower Cascades Park. A community partnership event sponsored by City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation, Monroe County Public Library and the Bloomington Storytellers’ Guild. No registration. Please drop in. Open to adults, teens, and older school age children. Not appropriate for younger children. LOCATION: Bryan Park RAIN LOCATION: Monroe County Public Library
