HauntFest is an immersive macabre experience, celebrating the horror arts through live music, art vendors, themed entertainment and bewitching activities. Similar to a Rennaissance Fair, but with a haunted twist. HauntFest is known to have had activities such as axe throwing, live animal encounters (holding snakes or kittens in Halloween costumes), trivia, rage rooms, free-roaming ghouls, food and drink, ghost stories by the fire, freak shows, crafts, face painting, hayrides, celebrity appearances, costume contests and more, always accompanied by a haunted trail or other attraction.
