The City of Easton and the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor are co-hosting a family-friendly Halloween event at Hugh Moore Park in late October.
Haunted Hugh Moore Park features a ghostly ride on the Josiah White II canal boat, Halloween activities and a ghost walk with new ghost stories. The event returns for a second year 6-9 p.m. Oct. 21, 22, 28 and 29.
Passengers will take a canal boat ride that introduces the ghosts that haunt the Lehigh and Delaware canals. After the boat ride, passengers will take a spooky walk from the National Canal Museum to the locktender’s house next to the Chain Dam, where they will encounter local ghosts.
Visitors will also experience a bonfire, pumpkin hunt, pumpkin decorating, a hayride and caramel apple decorating. Light refreshments will be served free of charge.
Participation is by reservation only; each night is limited to 80 people. Participants are asked to arrive in the park by 6 p.m. and be aboard the Josiah White II canal boat 6:15 p.m. Activities begin when the boat sets sail 6:30 p.m. Activities conclude 9 p.m. There is a cost.
