October 17-25, 2011: Pirate Day, Meteor Shower, Lantern Parade, Australian Pink Floyd, Ferret Fest, Deathfest, Cthulhu, and New England’s largest Halloween resource
This week I declare a road trip! Let’s face it. You stay in one spot way too much. Take a look at the huge-o mountain of Halloween awesomeness (and corn field mazes) way at the bottom of this week’s issue and make it your excuse to travel somewhere!
Want even more? Email me for my 2011 New England Guide at johnny@eventsINSIDER.com, which has 720 permanent attractions that I don’t normally talk about, all throughout New England. For example, where to find public astronomy nights — and odd quirks like this snow globe museum I just found. 🙂
I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!

| Hingham Arts Walk | South Shore
Sun 10/23 |
 Yet another open studios conflict. Don’t these guys coordinate at all? Gee, this one comes with a concert, poetry reading, art demos, and unspecified “children’s activies”.

| River Fire at Northern Forest Heritage Park | New Hampshire
Sat 10/22 |
 River Fire, an idea they must have borrowed from Providence, RI’s Waterfire, is when they install iron baskets just above the waterline along a river and throw in wood and light fires at night. It’s a nice backdrop to socialize with a kids’ carnival , hayrides, and unspecified ‘entertainment’, which usually means somebody’s band is playing for free. 961 Main Street, Berlin, NH.603-752-7202. event website on facebook |

Sat 10/22 – Sun 10/23 |
 Halloween at a zoo sounds pretty awesome! They’ll have a haunted maze, a trick-or-treat trail, and “creature encounters”.

| Haunted Salem Scavenger Hunt | North Shore
Sat 10/22 |
 In Salem, the Watson Adventures company is holding one of their scavenger hunt events, which you can find regularly in Boston.

|
| Salem Common Family Fun Day | North Shore
Sun 10/23 – Sun 10/30 |
 I went to this once and they had a giant inflatable obstacle course, but that was 7 years ago and they seem to only say “small rides”, plus the ubiquitous face painting. They’ll have live music though, and Salem is great fun to stroll around in this time of year, even if you don’t go to their attractions, which of course you should! Salem, MA. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Children’s Halloween Costume Party | North Shore
Sat 10/22 |
 For example, this kids parade. 12-3pm. They have an indoor location if it rains. Salem, MA. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Gedney Glows | North Shore
Thu 10/20 |
 And also, this tour of a historic shipbuilder’s home, is billed as “see why this is not your typical historic house tour”. It’s the old “we’re not going to tell you why you should attend this event” trick, stolen from the Marketing Wizard playbook. Well, you do get to “stand inside the chimney”. Brief but definitely unusual. Salem, MA. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Easton “Horribles” Parade | Southeast Mass
Sun 10/23 |
 Everyone — not just kids — is invited to this Halloween costume parade! 4:30pm. Easton, MA. event website |

| Halloween Costume Parade at Taunton | Southeast Mass
Sun 10/23 |

|
| Spooktacular at Attleboro Springs | Southeast Mass
Sat 10/22 |
| this event! It’s a non-scary event for kids, a guided nature hike where you meet people dressed up who teach you about animals. I went to an event like this once. It was surprisingly endearing.

|
| Echoes from the Past: Worcester’s Ghost Walk | Worcester
Thu 10/20 |
 This is cool! The Mayor and other VIPs portray historical figures from the past in this education and not-so-spooky Halloween tour. Reserve ahead. What a shame — it’s sickening — that the same week this museum, which should elevate us culturally, also hosts a paranormal “class”. What a scam. Worcester City Hall, 455 Main Street, Worcester, MA.508-753-8278. event website on twitter on facebook |

|
| Martin’s Pond Children’s Haunted Playground | North Shore
Sat 10/22 |
 Here’s a haunted park tour for kids, with a scavenger hunt, magic show, and kids parade. This one is definitely for kids and I’m scandalized to see that “fortune telling” is one of the events. You guys know that’s a scam, right? The question to ask is, “If fortuning telling is real, so why are you here and where is your private jet?” 5:30-9pm. Clarke Park, 61 Burroughs Rd, North Reading, MA. event website |
|
| Mother Nature’s Halloween Hike | Southeast Mass

|
| Night at the Museum for Adults | New Hampshire
Fri 10/21 |
 I love that this museum is doing a Halloween event that’s not kids-oriented! They’ll have a scavenger hunt and trivia game.

Remick Country Doctor Museum, Tamworth, NH.603-323-7591. event website on twitter on facebook |

|
| New England Fringe Festival | Boston Metro
Sat 10/15 – Sun 10/23 |
 This ‘festival’ is really a series of performances, but they seem really creative! They present dance, theatre, storytelling, physical comedy, and even magic. I went once and it was artistically interesting but poorly attended. So help get the word out.

| Autumn Colors: A Mystery Revealed at the Arnold Arboretum | Boston Metro
Tue 10/25 |
 Here’s a science talk about why leaves change colors in the fall. It takes place at Arnold Arboretum, which is sort of a zoo for trees and plants. Did you know that the paths at the Arnold Arborteum are plowed all winter long? And they have bonzais. It’s lovely but pretty much looks like other parks. Arnold Arboretum, Hunnewell Building Lawn, Boston, MA. event website |
|
| Cambridge Community TV Grand Opening Gala | Boston Metro
Tue 10/25 |
 Have you wondered why I don’t list many benefits? This is why. Cambridge Community Television is charging $100 and all you get is “tours of the facility” and you can stand around drinking. Come on, people, you work in the arts! Think up something more creative next time. Tigers! Bellydancers! Magic! Haunted tours with live actors! 438 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA.617-661-6900. event website on twitter on facebook |

| Concord Festival of Authors | Metro West
Thu 10/20 – Sun 11/6 |
 These author talks include a Halloween kids party Oct 30, poetry reading, and “Mystery Night”. Plus Anita Hill is speaking, the lawyer who accused a Supreme Court nominee of harassment in 1991. The truth was never known but there are “believers” on both sides insisting that whatever your heart feels is more important than facts. Concord, MA.978-369-9763. event website |
|
| The Lives of Stars at Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary | North Shore
Sat 10/22 |
 I love this. It’s an outdoor event with an astronomer to teach you the night sky at a local park which I assume is gloriously beautiful in the dark. 7:30-9pm. 87 Perkins Row, Topsfield, MA.978-887-9264. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Tolkien Walk in the Woods | North Shore
Sun 10/23 |
 I sort of don’t get this, but I love all things Tolkien. Tolkien was the author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit books. This seems to be a guided tour and book reading, or something. 1-3pm. Ravenswood Park, 481 Western Ave, Gloucester, MA.978-526-8687. event website on facebook |
|
| October Cow Festival: Strolling of the Dairy Herd | North Shore
Sun 10/23 |
 A cow parade… I guess that’s awesome? But it also comes with hands-on dairy activities, whatever that means. Do we get to milk a cow or not? Comes with local ice cream. Yum! 2:30-4:30pm. Appleton Farms, Route 1A, Ipswich, MA. event website on facebook |
|
| Fall Foliage Hiking | Worcester
Wed 10/5 – Tue 11/15 |
 Where’s a good place to go to see Fall Foliage closer to Boston? The closest is the Blue Hills in Canton, MA, Wachusett Mountain Reservation (which is the same mountain but a separate entrance from Mt. Wachusett Ski Resort), and the Berkshires. Or go north to Mount Monadnock in southern NH. Don’t have a car? Try the Middlesex Fells which you can get to on the subway. Various, Various. primary website another another on twitter |
|
| The Great New England BBQ Fest at Wachusett Mountain | Worcester
Sat 10/22 – Sun 10/23 |
 I’ve been to Wachusett Mountain for one of their festivals and it was a little too much of a junky crafts fest. But this one has a lumberjack performance, live music, and… an oyster shucking competition. They’ve got a ski lift ride to the top, too, but it will cost extra. Wachusett Mountain, Princeton, MA. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Keene Pumpkin Festival | New Hampshire
Sat 10/22 |
 It’s a 2 hour drive from Boston, but this event features more than 25,000 carved, lit pumpkins! It’s quite a sight, but that’s pretty much it. At least it’s free. Oh, they’ll have a food court. How about live music and last year’s pumpkin bowling? Main Street, Keene, NH. event website on facebook |
|
| Re-enactment of Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird | Rhode Island
Sun 10/23 |
 I found this re-enactor lately and it’s a little strange to see that he’s re-enacting a character that is actually fictional, the civil rights dad lawyer guy from that book we all read in high school. I don’t know, I would bet it’s worth checking out in Rhode Island! 3pm. Jamestown Library, Jamestown, RI.508-869-6749. event website |

Sat 10/22 – Sun 10/23 |

This free tour of the mill, with alpacas and sheep, is somehow mixed in with johnnycakes (which are sort of corn meal pancakes) and tons of old-timey demos, including blacksmithing, broom & bucket making, stone carving, mosaic making, and chair caning. Geez, what did the chair do to deserve that? West Kingston, RI. event website on facebook |

| West Bay Artists Open Studios | Rhode Island
Sat 10/22 – Sun 10/23 |
 Here’s another excuse to drive around, exploring a new area and meeting real artists (not just merchants) in their private homes and work studios. Maybe you’ll buy something and help fund their unrealistic non-McDonald’s lifestyles. All Over. event website on facebook |
|
| Graphic Novels at the Fitchburg Art Museum | Northwest Mass
Sun 10/23 |
 Wow! Now this is what museums need more of: comic books! Oh, sorry, “graphic novels”. Damn. I got that right in Events INSIDER rehearsal. I love visiting a museum when something extra is going on. This time it’s a lecture on the history of com… Graphic novels… and there’s a hands-on workshop for teens & adults. 185 Elm Street, Fitchburg, MA.978-345-4207. event website on facebook |
|
| Harvest Dinner & Urban Barn Dance | Boston Metro
Thu 10/20 |
 So… this is participatory folk dance… that encourages you to learn about local farmers’ markets. See the other website here for a ton more folk dancing opportunities. Dante Alighieri Cultural Center, 41 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA.781-893-8222. event website |
|
| Be Bold, Be Bald! | Boston Metro
Fri 10/21 |
 Hint to charities: it’s hard enough extracting donations. Why throw in a huge roadblock like trying to make baldness cool? The trick psychology is they give you something easy to do that makes you feel like part of a movemnet. Then they use that euphoria to dope you into raising money. What happened to the party they ran last year? Ned Devine’s, 1 Faneuil Hall Market Pl, Boston, MA. event website |
|
| Boston Palestine Film Festival | Boston Metro
Fri 10/21 – Sun 10/30 |
 This film festival seems to truly be a festival, not just a series of screenings. It’s still not as cool as going to outdoor events, but they’ll have an opening reception and a few filmmakers appearing to present some of the showings. Various, Boston, MA. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Williamstown Film Festival | Berkshires
Fri 10/21 – Sat 10/29 |
| My challenge to film fests is always, So what? You know I can sit in the dark, not interacting with my friends, seeing movies all year long, right? But this one has solid lectures and social mixers, with actors and directors. Last year they featured Alec Baldwin. This year: a Bollywood sci-fi special effects guy. That’s down a few notches. Various Places, Williamstown, MA.413-458-9900. event website on facebook | |
| Gorefest at Improv Boston | Boston Metro
Wed 10/19 – Mon 10/31 |
 My favorite improv comedy club is doing a spoof on slasher films that have a lot of blood. It sounds pretty gross, but it might be funny if you’re totally inured to horror flicks. “MASSacre General Hospital”, Wed, Thu, Sun 7:30pm, Fri & Sat 7:30pm and 10pm. Improv Boston, 40 Prospect St, Cambridge, MA.617-576-1253. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| The Big Broadcast of 1954 | Boston Metro
Wed 10/19 – Sun 10/30 |
 Also a favorite, this is a spooky theatre event where they act out an old radio broadcast. I’ve been twice and, well, the acting is “local theatre” but the concept is really unique and worth seeing. Features “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. Regent Theatre, 7 Medford St, Arlington, MA.781-646-4849. event website |
|
| Rocky Horror at Club Oberon by the Gold Dust Orphans | Boston Metro
Fri 10/14 – Fri 12/2 |
 Rocky Horror is crazy enough, the crappy movie that theatre groups like to parody with a live performance that takes place right in front of the screen. So it’s a theatre show but it’s also a movie. This time it’s brought to you by LGBT troupe the Gold Dust Orphans, who are spectacular — I’ve seen them. So go see this! Club Oberon, 2 Arrow Street, Cambridge, MA. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| The Haunting of Hill House | Boston Metro
Fri 10/21 – Sat 10/22 |
 A haunted house, some strangers, and Halloween. What will happen? This is only a “play reading”, where actors hold the script go through the play without rehearsal. But hey. It’s only $12 and includes a reception with complimentary beer and wine. Given the small space, it will likely sell out, so buy your tickets soon! 8pm. Taylor House B&B, 50 Burroughs St, Boston, MA.800-838-3006. event website on facebook |
|
| Unlaunch’d Voices: Walt Whitman Alive with Stephen Collins | Berkshires
Fri 10/21 – Sat 10/22 |
 Walt Whitman is a great American poets whose name I’ve heard but know nothing about. Watching a gifted actor re-enact him is your painless opportunity to learn more. Did you know he worked hospitals during the Civil War? Me neither, because I had no idea what time era he lived in. That’s 18th century, right? Fri 7pm, Sat 3pm & 7pm. Ventfort Hall, Lenox, MA. event website |

| Halloween Dinner Theater presents Bloodhounds | New Hampshire
Fri 10/21 – Sat 10/29 |

| Steampunk Halloween Masquerade Ball | Connecticut
Fri 10/21 |
 I love you Mark Twain House! Can I have your baby? I just think there should be more of you in the world. I think possibly that if I do not attend this AWESOMELY steampunk costume party at the house of American coolest author ever’s I MAY DIE. I’m quite sure that Twain would have loved this. 351 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT.860-247-0998. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Storyteller Jonathan Kruk performs The Legend of Sleepy Hollow | Connecticut
Tue 10/25 |
 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was set in New York, but the Mark Twain House is seriously the closest I ever want to get to New York, because New England is so awesome I never want to leave it. 351 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT.860-247-0998. event website on twitter on facebook |

| Pumpkin Hayrides & Bison | Connecticut
Sat 10/22 – Sun 10/30 |
 News flash: Bison are not extinct! In fact there’s a farm where you can go see ’em in person. Oct 22, 23, 29, 30 at 2pm. No listing on their website but I called to confirm this. 19 Purvis Rd., Brooklyn, CT.860-779-0837. event website |
|
| Creatures of the Night – Guided Night Hike | Connecticut
Sat 10/22 |
 This is yet another park event where you walk through a forest at night and meet adults dressed up as animals that talk. Talk, animals, talk! Beyond teaching you that animals talk, they’ll also teach you about nature, stuff like how the animals poops and such. I’ve been to one of these and it was pretty dope. 6:30-9pm. Windsor, CT. event website |
|
| Enchanted Forest | Connecticut
Fri 10/21 |
 And another night creature park guided hike. 2325 Burr St, Farfield, CT. event website on facebook |

| Fall-o-Ween Fest at the Mystic Aquarium | Connecticut
Mon 10/24 – Sun 10/30 |
 There’s never a bad time to visit the aquarium, and if you go this weekend they’ll have carnival games, a haunted house, scavenger hunt, sounds fun! Mystic, CT.860-572-5955 x641. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Annual Dinner of the Men of Tor (Sherlock Holmes Club) | Connecticut
Sun 10/23 |
 I have fantasties that this club is like Mensa, except AWESOME and they solve crimes. Seriously, I went to Mensa once and it was a bunch of geeks. They really need to Sherlock Holmes their act up, yo. New Haven, CT. event website |
|
| Great Scot it’s Andrew Carnegie! | Connecticut
Wed 10/19 |
 This re-enactor that I just discovered is doing Andrew Carnegie this time, one of those rich bastards who gave a lot of money to charity so we would forget about their union-busting and monopolistic business practices. 6:30pm. Cromwell Belden Library, Cromwell, CT.508-869-6749. event website |
|
| Witchcraft and Tombstone Tours | Connecticut
Sat 10/22 – Sun 10/23 |
 A witch lived here, so take a tour of this historic home and cemetery. Too bad the tours aren’t at night! What was life like way back (before cell phones) when you’re accused of being a witch? What was it like to secretly BE a witch and kill off the accusers with your witchy magic? Find out! 211 Main St, Wethersfield, CT.860-529-0612. event website on facebook |
|
| Play With Matches | Connecticut
Fri 10/21 – Sun 11/6 |
 In this spooky Halloween theatre performance, the inventor of the automated matchstick has a break with reality. As the secrets are revealed, you may lose your own grasp on reality as well. Moo ha ha ha ha! <== evil laugh. 446A Blake Street, New Haven, CT. primary website another on facebook |
|
| A Steampunk Affair | Maine
Sat 10/22 |
 A steampunk dinner sounds lovely! They are limited to 78 people though. That’s Maine for you. The state is so giant that it’s like you know how the Universe is expanding and humanity will probably never get to travel to another galaxy? Thus, all the Maine steampunkers can’t really meet up. Stephen W. Manchester Post No. 62, 17 Dunn St, Westbrook, ME. event website on facebook |
|
| OgunquitFest | Maine
Fri 10/21 – Sun 10/23 |
 Although this festival is “fall” themed, they do have a haunted house, costume parade, and ghost tours as well as a car show and pumpkin decorating booth. Ogunquit, ME. event website on twitter on facebook |
|
| Kennebunk HarvestFest | Maine
Sat 10/22 |
 Not only is there a Kennebunk, there’s a Kennebunkport. Stop adding “port” to your town names, Maine! It’s just lazy naming. Anyway, this street fest comes with hay rides, a costume parade, live music, and a “fireman’s muster”, which I’m pretty sure is a fireman-themed stripper show. Kennebunk, ME. event website on facebook |

| Bakuretsu Con | Vermont
Thu 10/20 – Sun 10/23 |
 Do I have any readers in Vermont? Does anybody read down this far in the blog? Because I could save a lot of time if I just kept it to Massachusetts. Somebody email me at johnny@eventsINSIDER.com. Thanks. Hampton Inn, Colchester, VT. event website |
