8 things to do this weekend: Chalk Art Festival, Haunted Trolley & Pumpkintown USA

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Looking for weekend activities? We have eight ideas for you!

Weekends through early November, get spooked at Evidence of Evil at Lyman Orchards , an interactive Halloween attraction rated PG-13.

All weekend, ride the Haunted Trolley presenting Final Stop: Murder on the Rails, a unique Halloween event at the Shore Line Trolley Museum.

Or celebrate Halloween in a less spooky way at the Dinosaur Place’s Pumpkin Passage , a trail of lights and more, running through the end of October.

Weekends through the month, ride the Pumpkin Patch Train at Danbury Railway Museum .  Everyone gets a free pumpkin, cider and cookies.

Always a hoot!  Take a walk through Pumpkintown USA at Paul’s and Sandy’s Too where more than seventy pumpkin people reside in an old-fashioned village.

It’s the last weekend to enjoy the Apple Harvest Festival in Southington called one of the state’s top tourist events at the height of foliage season.

Saturday, take-in the talent at the 7th Annual New Haven Chalk Art Festival outside the Shops at Yale with live music, a strolling magician and crafts.

Sunday, head to the Shubert Theatre for a Free Family Fun Day . Get a backstage tour with trick or treating stations and arts and crafts.

Here’s an extra: the Benhaven Walk for Autism takes place Sunday at Lighthouse Point Park.
News 8’s Joe Furey and Sarah Cody will be there. Please come out and say hello!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
