WE ARE MOUNTAIN STRONG

All of us at Hilloween were so excited to welcome Old Crow Medicine Show to headline Hilloween 2024. That is until Hurricane Helene devastated our communities...

As many of you know, Mitchell County was one of the areas hit the hardest by the storm and we are currently working with the band to reschedule that show. But—make no mistake—Old Crow Medicine Show WILL be performing that free concert when the Mitchell County is ready. And while that concert is being rescheduled, all of us at Hilloween are working hard to help our friends and family across Mitchell County recover and rebuild.

Hilloween has always been a mechanism for unity in these mountain towns. Though we are shifting our focus, Hilloween is not going anywhere. In fact, we are continuing to do what we have always done—supporting the schools, businesses, and people of Mitchell County and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Thank you for any support you can provide.

As of October 1, all donated funds will be used to support recovery and rebuilding efforts across Mitchell County.

Hilloween is a multi-day festival in Mitchell County, NC that celebrates Blue Ridge Mountain culture, supports young people across the region, and creates fun Halloween events for our friends and neighbors (even if you’re “from off”).

Some of these events are scary. Some are educational. Some might make you pee your pants—either from fear or laughter. Everything we do is fun, safe, and engaging for the entire family.
