New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 28, 29, and 30, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., you are dared to be scared at The Haunted Academy, a free Halloween event in Fairhaven. The Fairhaven Office of Tourism will be sponsoring this fun attraction with spooky scenes and costumed characters both outside and inside the Visitors Center/Academy Building, 141 Main Street, right next door to Fairhaven High School.
At The Haunted Academy, you’ll see witches, a mad scientist and his monster, Lizzie Borden, Mrs. Lovett in her meat pie shop, a graveyard, and a haunted toy shop, among other things. Free treats will be handed out to children. Some of the items on display were donated from Manny Souza’s Ole Oxford Haunt, and Manny himself will be here to haunt with us. (NOTE: Some of the scenes may be scary for pre-school aged children. Parents are asked to use their judgement.) Free admission. For more information, call 508-979-4085 or email FairhavenTours@aol.com.
