Festival Of The Dead: Celebrate The Spirits This Halloween Season

Halloween is the time of year when the shades of the dead whisper from forgotten places and spirits walk among us. The Witches of Salem honor this time with Festival of the Dead, an annual event series that explores death’s macabre customs, heretical histories, and strange rituals. Presented by Salem Witch Christian Day and hosted by the foremost authorities on the spirit world, Festival of the Dead beckons guests to step through the veil into a realm where spirits await.

Festival of the Dead explores death’s mysteries through events that investigate the favored and forbidden ways in which people have honored, celebrated, and secretly delved into life’s inevitable destination:

• Party with the Living Dead at The Retro Zombie Ball
• Enroll Your Kids in Ms. Firefly’s School for Little Witches
• Walk the paths of Heaven and Hell at The Brimstone Chronicles
• Learn to hunt ghosts at Spectral Evidence: Ghost Hunting 101
• See Into the Future at The Annual Psychic Fair and Witchcraft Expo
• Transform Your Spirit through Death and Rebirth: Ritual Transformation
• Dance with the Undead at The Vampires’ Masquerade Ball
• Celebrate your departed at The Mourning Tea
• Communicate with Departed Loved Ones at Messages from the Spirit World: Salem’s Only Authentic Séance
• Honor Your Loved Ones Who Have Crossed Over at the Salem Witches’ Most Sacred Event … The Dumb Supper: Dinner with the Dead

Finally, join the Witches of Salem and revelers from around the globe for The Official Salem Witches‘ Halloween Ball, the world’s most exclusive Halloween event! Celebrate the afterlife with food, dancing, ritual, live music, free psychic readings, and prizes where the dead cavort with the living and powerful spells are cast for the Witches’ new year!

Defying the boundaries of religion, culture, and continent, death captivates our imaginations and ensnares our minds, beckoning us to journey to destinations beyond the tattered shroud of mortality.
