Month-Long Scarecrow Contest & Trick or Treating on Halloween

Daily, Oct 1st-Oct 31st

Autumn in Chimney Rock Village is a time of traditions as families with young children and couples return to our bustling Main Street and Riverwalk Trail to take in the splendor of the season. Merchants show off their creativity all month long by decorating scarecrows in front of their businesses. B&Bs, Inns, and vacation rental cabins decorate too, and the outdoor cafes are brimming with activity.
The monthlong celebration of Fall culminates with our annual Trick or Treat on Main St., on Halloween evening from 5 pm to 7 pm.
Winners of the Scarecrow contest will be announced at the Halloween Costume & Karaoke Party at Broad River Cocktail Lounge.
Several restaurants, shops, and bars will likely be open later on Halloween evening as well! So, dress up the whole family and head down to Main St to score your best treats.

Mad Scientists’ Halloween Bash

“Everybody’s a mad scientist, and life is their lab”-David Cronenberg

As the mad scientists at the Dance Lab, we are inviting YOU to our 1st Annual Halloween Bash! If there is anything that we love as dancers, it is any excuse to dress up in some other era or character. Somehow it makes dancing so much more fun! So for this evening, we encourage you to enter one of the following contests:

Overall Best
Best Couple
Best Group
Scariest
Funniest
Most Original

Light refreshments, door prizes and the spookiest music will fill the evening as we dance the night away! An advanced beginner East Coast Swing lesson will be offered from 7-8pm (perfect for any level) with an open dance from 8-11pm. No partner is necessary.

So, what are you waiting for? Throw on your best costume, round up all your friends and come see for yourself what we are mixing up next at the Dance Lab!
