Halloween in Manayunk: Come for the Thrill of it

On Main Street, trick-or-treating will take place from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m.  There will be Halloween candy bags available at the Manyaunk.com tent at the corner of Cotton and Main Streets.  Fun and festive scarecrows will guard the doors of each store or restaurant that will have candy for trick-or-treaters.  Follow the scarecrows to get all the sweets your sweet tooth can handle!

A new addition to Halloween in Manayunk this year, zombies will be taking over Cotton Street, lurching out with eerie dance moves from Michael Jackson’s classic hit, Thriller!  We’re calling it “Manayunk’s Zombie Thriller Dance-Off,” and ANYONE can participate!  Simply know the moves to “Thriller,” come to Cotton Street at 2 p.m. on Saturday, and dress like a zombie!  There will be a total of $1,000 in cash prizes to reward the Best Zombie Costume and the Best Dancer.  Register here! 

Also on Main Street this Saturday will be the Philadelphia Flea Market!  Philadelphia’s largest flea market will come to Manayunk once again, located along the 4200 block of Main Street between Rector and Pensdale Avenues.  The flea market will open at 8 a.m. on Saturday and close at 4 p.m.

The Pretzel Park Fall Festival begins at 10:00 a.m. running until 8:00 p.m. with fun activities for the whole family.  Visitors will be able to enjoy food from Philadelphia food truck vendors, pick up some fresh produce at the Farmer’s Market, and listen to live music throughout the day.  There will contests and parade for children and furry children (neighborhood dogs) at 1:00 p.m. and 11:00 a.m. respectively. Don’t forget about pumpkin painting, throwing, and carving, arts and crafts, and even more.
