Candle Lighters 42nd Annual Ghost House

The Candle Lighters 42nd annual Ghost House begins Oct. 15 and runs through Oct. 30.

A "Haunted Hotel" will greet guests at the transformed Carriage House at the Fremont Hub on Fremont Blvd at Mowry. In addition to the Ghost House, there will be food, games, Halloween novelties, our famous caramel apples and to be sure, a witch or two.

A costume parade for children, featuring a high school band, will be held on Saturday, October 29 at 1 p.m.

Also at 1 p.m., there will be a special illuminated tour of the house with lights on for who would like a less scary view of the house. 

Tickets are required for the house tours. Always during opening hours, a Good Fairy is available to guide the faint of heart through the house.
