Get ready to embrace the spirit of Halloween at the Mordecai Historic Park this October. The park will be hosting 'Spellbound at Mordecai,' a family-friendly event packed with thrilling activities for children and adults alike. According to a recent announcement on the City of Raleigh's Parks and Recreation website, attendees can look forward to encounters with mysterious characters, the charm of magicians, and the opportunity to have their fortune told.

Young guests, along with their pets, are encouraged to dress in their best Halloween costumes to join the costume contest and parade. Adding to the eeriness, The Ghost Guild, Inc. will be hosting their annual Haunted Mordecai tour, which promises a new, immersive experience as team members share their paranormal findings, with small groups, in the locations where the data was collected. Tickets can be reserved in advance through The Ghost Guild's Eventbrite page, or they can be acquired on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event.

In addition to the supernatural experiences, the event will feature an enchanting market to shop for handmade items and treats, inflatables, and family-friendly stage performances. For those seeking a memento of the occasion, there will be a pumpkin decoration station to take home a piece of All Hallow’s Eve. The announcement on the City of Raleigh's Parks and Recreation website also reminds guests to keep it spooky but friendly—no horror, gore, weapons, or full masks are allowed.

The 'Spellbound at Mordecai' event is open to the public and free of cost, scheduled for October 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. All ages are welcome to join in the fun.
