Third Annual Halloween in Hamilton

By Lauren Marshall on September 12, 2018

Join us as we celebrate our third annual village-wide Halloween in Hamilton on October 31st! Enjoy a giant celebration with crafts, trick-or-treating, and a free movie! Safe fun for the whole family. Check out the full schedule of events below.

From 3pm – 4pm, head over to the Colgate Bookstore (3 Utica St) for a gigantic celebration. Create a glowing Dream Jar, design your own enormous BFG ears, and snack on some delicious Frobscottle!

Then, join the costume parade down Lebanon Street from 4pm – 4:30pm. Local shops will hand out treats as the children parade through town. Lebanon Street will be closed for traffic from 3:30pm – 4:30pm for safety.

Starting at 4:30pm, the Hamilton Movie Theater (7 Lebanon St) will play the 2016 film, “The BFG” (rated PG, 1h 57m) for FREE, sponsored by the Colgate Bookstore. Based on a book by Roald Dahl, “The BFG” tells the story of an orphan little girl who befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world.

After the movie, head out through the village of Hamilton for a night of safe, fun trick-or-treating!
