Annual Halloween celebration on Manayunk's Main Street with trick-or-treating, ghost tours and the Lincoln Mill Haunted House for older children.
Halloween in Manayunk returns to Main Street on Saturday, October 24, from 11 AM to 2 PM. It's the neighborhood's signature annual celebration, built as a safe way for the community to mark the spooky season, and it's billed as one of Philadelphia's scariest local haunts.
Manayunk is the city's hilliest neighborhood, and the day concentrates its Halloween fun along Main Street, where both businesses and homeowners decorate. The main draw is the trick-or-treating: kids, pets, and families in costume collect treats and goodies from local shops and restaurants, with businesses also handing out door-to-door. It's a neighborhood-wide effort, so you'll see the decorations stretching across the street from the storefronts to the houses.
For older children, aged 13 and up, the neighborhood adds spookier thrills. There are ghost tours and the Lincoln Mill Haunted House, which runs with live scare actors, animatronics, and special effects. It's a good way to stretch the day out: the trick-or-treating is for all ages, while the haunted house and tours are geared toward the older crowd. If you're bringing kids, you can start with the treats on Main Street and then decide if you're up for the scarier stuff later.
