Halloween in Hamilton

By Lauren Marshall on October 21, 2016

The-great-pumpkinJoin us in Hamilton, NY as we celebrate our first annual village-wide Halloween Party! Enjoy some spooktacular fun with costume competitions, crafts, trick-or-treating, and a movie! Safe fun for the whole family. Check out the full schedule of events below.

From 3pm – 4pm, head over to the Colgate Bookstore for an “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” Halloween Party! There will be pumpkin crafts, snacks, and goodie bags.

Then, don your costume and join the Costume Parade down Lebanon Street downtown block from 4pm – 4:30pm. Local shops will hand out candies and treats as the children parade in costume to the spookily decorated Hamilton Movie Theater.

Starting at 4:30pm, the Hamilton Movie Theater will play the 1995 film, “Casper” (rated PG) for FREE, thanks to our generous sponsors: Ego Boutique, Rusch’s Bar & Grill, Yogate Frozen Yogurt, No. 10 Tavern, Colgate Inn, Oliveri’s Pizzeria, Hamilton Eatery, Katie Fargo Skin Care, Evergreen Gallery and Gifts, New York Pizzeria– “Slices”, Julie’s Shear Perfection, Steph Boutique, and JJs Salon. The theater will be staffed and safe despite the spooky decorations, so we encourage parents to support the local businesses that made this event possible.

After the movie, stop outside the Colgate Inn’s warming station for a free post-movie hot chocolate or coffee before heading off through Hamilton for a night of safe, fun trick-or-treating.

Please note that the prizes for the costume winners will be handed out AFTER the movie at the Hamilton Movie Theater.
