Downtown Fright Fest Promises A Scary Good Time In Downtown Florence On Friday The 13th

The Downtown Fright Fest promises a scary good time in downtown Florence on Oct. 13 — that’s right, the event is on Friday the 13th.

Fright Fest is a new downtown event. It replaces Oktoberfest, said Hannah Davis, Florence Downtown Development Corp. Development Manager.

“They said, ‘We really want to see downtown do something for Halloween,’ ” Davis said. “We’ve got a great space for that. We retired our downtown Oktoberfest event for a number of reasons. Most were related to the cost to insure an event like Oktoberfest, as well as changing sponsorship needs.”

The idea grew and developed into a multifaceted event that includes costume contests, music, vendors, food and drink sales, and entertainment for adults and children.

Florence’s DJ Voodoo Child will get the Friday the 13th party started. He will be pumping out the music from 5:30-6:00 p.m., while Miracle Max and the Pet Monsters (80’s Tribute Band) will take the stage from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and 8:00-9:00 p.m.
