I don’t know about any of you, but I am seriously looking forward to the end of all of this muggy hot weather. I don’t know what it is, but I am full-on looking forward to the Halloween season. I’m ready for pumpkin patches, cider and donuts, Cool weather, and full-on spooky season.

Maybe it’s because of all of the extreme weather we had earlier on in the year, but I’m just ready to get the fall started, and so is downtown Kalamazoo as they have announced the return of the Skeletour Spooktacular. They are also announcing that the annual event has a massive update, which makes it a bigger experience than before:

This October, Downtown Kalamazoo transforms into a haunted haven with the All-New SkeleTour Spooktacular! Starting October 5th, over 50 eerie skeletons will take over downtown, each one sponsored by local businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations.

What To Expect During The Skeletour Spooktacular

 

This month-long celebration invites you to explore the spooky displays, bring the kids for Boos In The Zoo, enjoy the Bones & Boogie Bash-an adults-only costume contest/dance party, join the Creep & Crawl Bar Crawl, and win devilishly delightful prizes. Follow @downtownkalamazooshops on social media for all the ghostly updates as the Halloween magic unfolds!

The Skeletour Spooktacular starts on October 5th and will most likely come down in early November. Make sure when you're walking downtown this Halloween season that you take as many pictures of all the fun skeletons and send them our way.
