2024 Halloween Thrills and Chills in Berkshire County
There’s something about the way the trees in Berkshire County explode into fiery shades of orange and red that tells you, without a shadow of a doubt, spooky season is here. October in the Berkshires is practically designed for Halloween. It’s not just about a couple of pumpkins on porches and a costume contest at the local tavern. No, no, no. Here, we turn Halloween into a full-throttle, haunted thrill ride that even the ghosts and goblins can’t resist. So buckle up and grab your broomsticks (or your candy bags), because this October is packed with events that will send chills down your spine and maybe a sugar rush straight to your soul.
