Ghostly Greetings! To help support the holiday spirit, the City of Somerville and Somerville Arts Council is offering some alternative safe activities, details below:
City map of halloween decorations: Is there something strange in your neighbor--seeing monsters both big and tall? It has been reported by reliable sources that ghosts and ghouls have been mysteriously appearing in the various neighborhoods of Somerville. It has been determined that we need a little help with some ghost-bustering action. Your mission if you chose to accept it—Find as many ghost, ghouls, and monsters as you can and snap a picture and include the hashtag #SomervilleSpooktacular! Or enjoy a lovely Spooktacular stroll around your neighborhood! Due to COVID 19 Restrictions and following Somerville’s Safety measures, we are highly discouraging traditional trick-or-treating. Happy Haunting!
