It can’t be said that Lebanon, Illinois lacks Halloween Spirit. Every year, a few days before Halloween, Witches’ Night Out is hosted in downtown Lebanon. The event showcases many local businesses and vendors. Patrons wear costumes and enjoy Halloween festivities.
This year, the night began with an opening ceremony on Brick Street. Organizers cast a spell, mixed potions, and announced the beginning of the night as the music started to play. Many of the businesses at the event sold Halloween decor and novelty items like dragon eggs.
The event featured several food trucks. There were barbeque and coffee vendors, as well as a dessert cart selling a treat called the Witch’s Cauldron.
Witches’s Night Out is wonderful for the community as it is a safe and fun way to celebrate Halloween while also stimulating Lebanon’s economy. The event is also a wonderful way for local businesses to make sales and promote their products.
