WITCHES NIGHT OUT IN NEWBURYPORT

On Friday, October 17th, witches and warlocks travel from near and far for an evening of shopping, dining, seasonal deals, and of course, treats. 

Over the years, this free Halloween-inspired event has turned into a Fall tradition for many. It makes for a magical evening out with friends, a spellbinding date night, or the perfect ‘witches (aka girls) night’ out!  

Although a costume is not required, it does add to the evening’s vibe, and allows you to blend in with the revellers 

This Halloween evening is sponsored by the Newburyport Chamber of Commerce,  promoting an enchanted evening of commerce and community for all to enjoy.  

A Few Highlights

Port Vida a Mexican Cantina located at 10 Center Street in Newburyport, will be brewing up specialty cocktails for the season at their truly haunted (so the legend has it) location.  

Simply Sweet, located on Inn Street in Newburyport, will be welcoming back the sounds of Soundbridge Union, ‘a powerhouse music duo, performing reimagined versions of popular songs’ and offering some of the signature treats they are known for.  

Merchants will be staying open later for the evening festivities and will be offering bites and beverages. There are also decorative window displays and special pop-ups like The Hormonal Hangover Society at Jabberwocky Bookstore in the Tannery Marketplace.
