Spooky Times
October 30, 2025
The Island celebrates Halloween this week with trick or treating all over the Island, a haunted house in Vineyard Haven and a spooky hayride through the West Tisbury cemetery.
Martha’s Vineyard Screenprinting Co. has been bringing the frights since 2019, turning its headquarters at 426 State Road in Vineyard Haven into a haunted house. This year, on Oct. 30 and 31, there will be kid-friendly frights from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and then adults can join the fun from 5 to 10 p.m. Admission is $5 for children 10 and under and $10 for adults, with proceeds benefiting the Tisbury Fire Department.
The Chilmark Fire Department hosts its annual party at the Chilmark Community Center on Halloween night, starting at 5 p.m. Just down the road, the West Tisbury Public Library hosts a party from 3 to 5 p.m. that includes treats and hayrides. Later in the evening, starting at 6 p.m., the Agricultural Hall throws a Halloween party with pizza, games and hayrides that travel through the nearby cemetery after dark.
There will be multiple viewings of Circuit Arts’ Spirits and Spirits at the Grange Hall on Thursday and Friday.
As per usual, William street in Vineyard Haven will be the place to be for trick or treating on Halloween. The 15th annual puppet parade down Main street starts things off at 4 p.m., beginning at the Mansion House. William street gets going at 5:30 p.m. and drivers can expect portions of Spring street and William street to be closed until around 9 p.m.
In Oak Bluffs, to keep the roads safe for trick or treaters, Vineyard avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic Friday from 4 to 8 p.m., from Dukes County avenue to Norris avenue.
Later that night, the Ritz will throw a costume party, with $500 in prizes for best costumes. Agreeable Men and DJ SKRT will provide the tunes.
