But I believe Halloween in New England holds a bit of extra magic. There’s a\nreason why so much media we consume tied to the holiday is often set in New England. I hope\neveryone who attends gets an early touch of that magical feeling as we celebrate halfway to\nHalloween.”\nThis event is produced under DePaoli’s depaolEVENTS label and is being sponsored by Witch\nCity Walking Tours and Witch City Broom Co.\n
