Castle Islands Halloween celebration inside the historic walls of Fort Independence

Halloween 2024

IN 2024, after four years of postponements, the popular FREE ‘Children’s Magical Halloween Castle’ was returned to inside the historic fort walls. This event was held at the end of October and was a HUGE success. We are looking forward to having the event next year.
A storyteller was on-site, and free tattoos and face-making were available. Sections of the internal fort were decorated very colorfully and spooky for Halloween. All kids of any age are strongly encouraged to wear their best Halloween costumes and be accompanied by an adult. Close to 6000 people attend the eight-hour event over two days. This event is a time-consuming event to set up and run, but it will be worth the time to see all the smiling faces,
