GREENPORT, NY — A spooktacular tradition is back in Greenport Saturday: The Greenport Business Improvement District will host the 6th Annual Greenport Halloween Village.

Coordinated in collaboration with the Village of Greenport, Saturday will kick off with the Village of Greenport’s 13th Annual Halloween Parade at 11 a.m. The parade line-up begins is at 10:30 a.m. at the Floyd Memorial Library.

Participants can march along with all the goblins and ghouls and other costumed tykes, as well as The North Fork Academy of Dance, as they follow the Greenport Fire Department’s decorated fire engine down Main Street and Front Street to Mitchell Park.

In addition, The Friends of Mitchell Park, with the support of Greenport Village, will sponsor rides at the recently restored carousel.

Rides are free for children ages 12 and under from 11:15 am.. to 1:30 p.m.

From noon to 3 p.m,the Greenport BID's village businesses will host trick or treating for all hobgoblins and witches.

And, too, the Greenport BID will again sponsor "The Teal Pumpkin Project" with non-food treats.

The frighteningly fun scavenger hunt returns with "Bats, Black Cats and Things That Go Bump in the Night." Both children and adults will make their way around the village and find the numbered bats, black cats and other Halloween ghouls in establishment windows, displays and just about anywhere.

Return the completed forms to the Blue Duck Bakery for a chance to win a great Prize; forms can be found around the village and here.

A special guest, "Lizzie Borden," portrayed by Lisa A. Dabrowski, will present Lizzie’s tale at 1:30 p.m. at the Blue Duck Bakery courtyard, located at 130 Front Street. Not suitable for young children. Adults and older children welcome.

The North Fork Arts Center at The Sapan Theatre will hold a special Halloween showing of "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit", at 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

In addition, restaurants and eateries will be open for nibbles and boos for adult phantoms and their little goblins. Enjoy many Halloween themed foods, goodies, and specialty drinks for the unafraid.

A rain date for the event has been scheduled for Sunday, October 26. For additional information, click here.
