Halloween in Falmouth: 5 Things to Do This Weekend

Costume parade for kids, costume party for dogs, spooky stories for grownups: There are more treats than tricks in store this pre-Halloween weekend in Falmouth.


  1. Get into the scary spirit with Stephen Sondheim's musical thriller "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," opening Friday at Highfield Theater. Show times: Friday, Saturday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m. Tickets: $17 adults, $15 children (under 18) and seniors. More info at falmouththeatreguild.org.
  2. Saturday, bring the kids to Main Street in Falmouth for the 16th Annual Main Street Trick or Treat Stroll. Kids' costume parade begins at 1 p.m. in Peg Noonan Park and afterward, families are invited to trick or treat at participating Main Street businesses. Sponsored by the Falmouth Village Association.
  3. Halloween treats for dogs? Why not? Get 'em from Ruff Rescue Bakery at the Green Harvest Organic Farmers Market & Artisans Fair, Sunday at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds in East Falmouth from noon to 3 p.m.
  4. There's even a costume party for our canine pals: A Howlin' Good Time at the Falmouth Dog Park happens Sunday from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. with live music by the Falmouth Fiddlers and prizes for the best doggie costumes. 
  5. The tenth season of Story Hour for Grownups at the Woods Hole Public Library resumes Sunday at 3 p.m. with Halloween in mind, according to the library's Facebook page: "Actually, the theme of suspense, mystery, and mayhem will continue through the early winter, as Story Hour explores a slightly different literary genre for several months.
