GRISSETTOWN HAUNTED TRAIL
If you like to be scared but in a fun way while supporting a great charity, then we have the perfect event for you. The annual Grissettown Haunted Trail takes place each October on Friday and Saturday nights. The trail takes about 30 minutes to complete, and while it is family-friendly, it is not a great event for the little ones.
