An Event Celebrating Halloween's Past
Located just outside of St. Louis, Missouri is St. Charles. St. Charles is home to the annual Legends & Lanterns, and it is an event that is right up your alley if you're into all things spooky! St. Charles isn't too far from the Tri-State it's about a 3-hour drive from here. It's the perfect distance for a day trip or an overnight getaway, and trust me when I first heard of Legends & Lanterns, I instantly wanted to make plans to go!
Legends & Lanterns
Legends & Lanterns is a festival that takes place every October, from a haunted history trail to ghost stories, oddities, and of course a fiddle-playing plague doctor, there's seriously something for everyone at Legends & Lanterns.
Here is what DiscoverStCharles.Com has to say about Legends & Lanterns:
Legends & Lanterns, a "spirited" journey through Halloween History is a annual event that finds its inspiration from the past.
From the vintage charm of Halloween in the 1910s-1930s, to the historical rituals and customs brought to the holiday by the Druids and Victorians, to the ethereal atmosphere depicted in American ghost stories and Brothers Grimm fairy tales; this event will offer treats and tricks for guests of all ages. A little bit silly. A little bit macabre. But all in fun.
Legends and Lanterns will take place on the following dates:
- Sat, 10/15: 11am to 6pm
- Sun, 10/16: Noon to 5pm
- Sat, 10/22: 11am to 6pm
- Sun, 10/23: Noon to 5pm
- Fri, 10/28: 5pm to 8pm
