Nathaniel Hawthorne invites you to his Halloween Bash! Celebrate the spooky season in the gardens of The House of the Seven Gables.

Dance the night away to Doctor Gasp and The Eeks’ songs of Halloween oozing with vampires and ghastly creeps. There will be a cash bar, stationed hors d’ oeuvres with a mac and cheese bar, photo booth, and great people-watching among other surprises. This is a costume party, join in on the fun and dress up in your Halloween best!
