For the past few years, we have attended Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village. It’s one of mine and my son’s favorite October traditions. We stroll throughout the village taking plenty of pictures and videos along the way to capture our experience.
We normally get there during the daytime and stay until the evening when we can see the illuminated jack-o’-lantern paths. I love that it is a self-guided experience, so we can take our time in areas we really love.
This event is sold out. Book your tickets in advance next year for its 2025 Hallowe’en event.
