Your day of terror begins at the Downtown Library plaza for the Three Rivers Festival Coffin Races down Wayne Street. Be thrilled at the costume parade and Halloween activities at the Grand Wayne Center by WAJI. Get chills from the ARCH haunted bus and walking tours with ghost stories by the Fort Wayne library in the Indiana Hotel. Finally, be amazed at the old-time daring-do of “The Black Pirate,” a classic silent film at the Embassy accompanied by the historic Grande Page Pipe Organ.

There’s a little terror and haunting experience for every age group at the Downtown Fright Night. Admission is free for most events. Don’t miss it on October 27, 2007 at 5:00!"

The scariest thing about Downtown Fright Night might be that one of the guys who helped come up with it, Downtown Improvement District director Dan Carmody, is leaving town.

But this is not the place for such musings.

Downtown Fright Night, happening Saturday, might be Fort Wayne’s first Halloween-related citywide festival since our pagan forbears worshipped Pomona, goddess of fruit.
