It's Spooky Season in Downtown Lebanon

October in Downtown Lebanon isn’t just a month—it’s a whole mood. As autumn chills the air, our historic square transforms into a festive, family-friendly Halloween wonderland. From friendly bone-chilling residents hanging out on our benches to witches flying on bicycles down the streets, there are endless ways to get into the spooky spirit.

The Night Owl Market

Shop under the moonlight! Our downtown square comes alive after dark with local artisan vendors, cozy fall treats, and hand-crafted spooky decor. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite, enjoy live acoustic music, and support local makers under the autumn stars.

The Skeleton Stroll

Keep your eyes peeled! Throughout October, our funniest (and skinniest) residents take over the downtown benches. Stop by the square to take a “selfie with a skeleton,” tag @TheHeartOfLebanon, and see what wacky poses they end up in this week. They love to read, drink coffee, and hang out with visitors.
