Autumn on Nantucket is a magical time, and Halloween brings a special enchantment to the island. Whether planning a family getaway or a solo adventure, Halloween on Nantucket is filled with fun events and spooky activities that will thrill visitors of all ages. And if you’re thinking about a car rental, Affordable Rentals has got you covered. Let’s dive into the Halloween festivities you can look forward to this year!
Kick off your Halloween celebrations on Wednesday, October 30th, by visiting the Nautical Nightmare hosted by the Coast Guard's Station Brant Point. This eerie event runs from 6 to 10 pm and promises a night full of family-friendly spooks. Organizers recommend bringing a non-perishable food item donation for entry. Keep in mind that children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
On Thursday, October 31st, the Halloween spirit continues with Nantucket’s annual Halloween Parade! An iconic part of the Nantucket Halloween experience, organizers invite adults and children to participate in the costume contest. Then, the parade kicks off at 4 pm from the Lieutenant Max Wagner Memorial Fountain on Main Street. It’s an iconic event not to be missed!
After the parade, families can head over to the Nantucket Historical Association's Whaling Museum for some more Halloween fun. We'll open the museum doors at 4:30 pm for free eerie activities and a chance to trick-or-treat. It’s a perfect venue for kids to enjoy themed crafts and games while diving into the rich history of Nantucket.
