Step right up, thrill-seekers and lovers of the strange!
This year, Deadwoodville—the legendary haunt of the living dead since 1715—throws open the creaking gates to its most spectacular spectacle yet: The Greatest Show of the Undead! For two uncanny weeks, Deadwoodville comes alive with the sights, sounds, and spirits of a dark carnival like no other.
Imagine strolling beneath tattered big-top tents, where ghostly jugglers toss flaming skulls and skeletal acrobats soar through the fog. The air is thick with the scent of sour candied apples… and something far more mysterious. Every booth, game, and shadowed corner hums with anticipation as the living and the departed prepare for a union that defies the grave.
?So grab your ticket to the greatest show of the undead world. Revel in the whimsical, the eerie, and the bizarre while joining a community that celebrates the extraordinary.
Proceeds raised from the ticket sales to this fundraising event will support Hopkinton YMCA and Arts Center.
