Halfway to Halloween coming to Elmira this week

ELMIRA, N.Y. ( WETM ) – If you’re itching for the Halloween season to come back around, there’s an event coming up at the end of this week in Elmira that you may not want to miss.

Halfway to Halloween is a celebration being put together by Girl Friday Creative Events for everyone who enjoys all things spooky and strange. The event will take place on Friday, May 24, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Empire Sports of the Southern Tier.

At the event, many local vendors and artists will be available to offer a market of unique and spooky products and services for attendees to enjoy. Some of these include horror and gothic art prints, jewelry, clothing, tarot card readings, special effects makeup and more.

To attend the event you must be at least 18 years or older, as some of the contents of the event might not be suited for a younger audience.

A $10 cash-only cover is also required to attend the event, which will give attendees access to the show, door prizes and the opportunity to participate in costume contests. An ATM will be available for those who need it.

Those who are interested in participating in the costume contest must be present at 8 p.m. for the presentation of the winners. The costume contest will be judged for the best couple costume, the scariest costume and the funniest costume by unnamed judges throughout the event.

Food and drink will be available for purchase and provided by Empire Sports. This includes alcoholic beverages for those who have a valid ID.

More information about the event, including a sneak peek at the vendors that will be available, can be found on the Halfway to HALLOWEEN Facebook event page .
