WITCHES NIGHT OUT IN NEWBURYPORT
On Friday, October 16th, witches and warlocks travel from near and far for an evening of shopping, dining, seasonal deals, and, of course, treats in downtown Newburyport.
Each year, this Halloween-inspired evening continues to grow and has become an annual Fall tradition for many. Make it a magical night with friends or a spellbinding date night; Witches Night Out is the perfect night out!
Local shops throughout downtown Newburyport and including The Tannery Marketplace will have special pop-ups and window displays, along with small bites and beverages.
Area restaurants celebrate Witches Night Out too!
A Few Highlights
Look for specialty cocktails brewing and live music at Port Vida a Mexican Cantina located at 10 Center Street, Newburyport (and as legend has it, this location is truly haunted).
Visit Newburyport’s Inn Street and be sure to stop by Simply Sweet, where Soundbridge Union will be performing live Halloween music to sing and dance to from 6-8 PM – this is a fan favorite!
This Halloween evening is sponsored by the Newburyport Chamber of Commerce, promoting an enchanted evening of commerce and community for all to enjoy.
