Phantoms by Firelight

The Cyrkus Vampyr is Leaving Town “It's eerie. It's different. It's fun for the whole family.” - New England’s Best Halloween Attraction as voted by readers of Providence Journal As nightfall cloaks the Village in darkness, the line between past and present fades, and history’s shadows come alive. Wander fire-lit paths and step inside historic buildings, gather by the crackling bonfire for eerie tales, and revel in the dazzling spectacle of fire dancers, soaring acrobats, and haunting melodies. Step into a world of flickering lanterns, whispered secrets, and the magic of Halloween like you’ve never experienced before. Be amazed by the talents of Cyrkus Vampyr, featuring performances by acclaimed artists. The night sky ignites with dazzling fire dancing, acrobatics, juggling, hand balancing, and more. Stay until the final hour—you won’t want to miss the grand finale that will leave you talking about it long after the night is over. PLUS, new this year, enjoy the musical stylings of popular local band Fox and the Dragon! Witness our cabinetmaker as he assembles a final resting place—more than just a bed, it’s a coffin crafted with care for those whose time has come. Inside the blacksmith’s shop, sparks fly as they forge tools as grim as they are necessary. Experience the somber and chilling atmosphere of an 1830s wake. Be mesmerized by the intricate weave of human hair as strands are crafted into flowers in memory of the dearly departed. Plus, discover the unusual remedies used to balance the body’s humors and cure disease before delving into the origins of Jack-o-Lanterns and Halloween traditions. Set out on a hunt across the Village with Clues and Candy! Unravel riddles and collect stamps at multiple locations to piece together a ghostly image. Finish the card and be rewarded with a treasure trove of sweet treats. It’s Halloween fun for souls young and old! Celebrate the grand finale season of Phantoms by Firelight featuring Cyrkus Vampyr this year with thrills, chills, and delights for all ages. This is your last chance to experience the event that will haunt your memories long after the last ember fades.
