Spooky Season is Here

As the air turns crisp and pumpkins adorn porches, it’s clear that the Halloween season has officially arrived in Fitchburg and surrounding areas. Lifelong resident Amy Descarreaux and her family are among the many who embrace this festive time, unveiling their haunted yard display at 1034 Rindge Rd. For two evenings of frightful fun, visitors can enjoy trick or treating and touring the elaborate decorations on October 25 and 26 from 5 to 9 p.m.

The Halloween spirit is palpable across the Twin Cities, with countless spooky displays popping up to bring joy and goosebumps alike. One curious addition to the decoration arsenal is the zombie lawn flamingo, a nod to Leominster’s quirky history where the original plastic flamingo was invented. Eerie yet delightful black wading birds are currently available at Main Street Gift & Cafe, adding a whimsical touch to the season.

Halloween on Tolman: A Community Initiative

This past weekend, Halloween on Tolman officially opened its doors in Leominster. This event is not only a spectacle of ghoulish decorations but also serves a charitable purpose as a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization aimed at raising funds for community members in need. Attendees are encouraged to make a minimum donation of $5 to support this noble cause while enjoying the family-friendly display that features blow-ups of various Halloween figures and a recently introduced Frankenstein photo area.

For updates and more information on when you can visit the Tolman Avenue display, follow Christmas on Tolman on Facebook. Their cheerful approach demonstrates how the community can celebrate both the spooky and the supportive aspects of the Halloween season.

Spooky decorations are popping up all over the region.

According to Amy Descarreaux, who has been crafting her epic Halloween setup since they moved to their home in 2016, the undertaking involves meticulous planning and hours of setup. “We just love seeing the kids come by and enjoy the decorations,” she said. The display features a range of inflatable ghouls, skeletons, and spooky lights that combine to create a truly thrilling experience.

The family welcomes visitors to take pictures in front of their elaborate Halloween decorations anytime, but the official viewing will only be held on Friday and Saturday night. Descarreaux encourages everyone to join in on the fun and get into the Halloween spirit.

In recent years, the community has shown an overwhelming enthusiasm for Halloween that rivals even the most popular holidays. Drive around neighborhood streets, and you can easily spot a ghost or two hanging from trees or carved pumpkins lighting up doorways.

This year is set to be particularly special, as families come together to enjoy shared traditions and new experiences. Halloween in Fitchburg isn’t just about spooks; it’s about community, creativity, and above all, connection.
