Fright Week: Halloween Events In Boston and Salem This Week

By , About.com GuideOctober 24, 2009

Follow me on:

Halloween is just a week away, which means the local calendar is jam-packed with ghoulish events.

Some of the events that begin today include Halloween Town, Boston's largest family Halloween celebration, the Zoo Howl at the Franklin Park Zoo, and the Boston Ghost Cruise. Meanwhile, it is sure to be a busy week in Salem, where Halloween goes big-time with an infamous history of witches and supposed hauntings.

For a complete listing of Halloween events in the Boston area, click here. To see what's going on in Salem, click here.

If Halloween isn't quite on the brain yet, we can't recommend today's Boston Book Festival enough. Ben Mezrich, Ethan Gilsdorf, and Dennis Lehane will be among 90 authors and presenters at the Copley Square event. Should be a cool time.
