GHOST WALK 2025

October 10, 11, 12

Get ready for the 6th Annual Ghost Walk. This annual tradition is one of our most popular events. As always, the tour features ghost stories told at eight spots around the village and performed for you by live actors and narrated by tour guides.

The tour launches from Baldwin Canal Square on the River (Denio Street) behind the Bville Diner and next to WT Brews. See map.

By popular demand, these stories are more scary, more spooky, and ton more creepy than in year's past. This year's Ghost Walk will reach back into past and remind us all that sleepy Baldwinsville has had its fair share of the unexplained. Of course, many a local can tell you of the legends of the Witch of Whiskey Hollow and many more can share a story or two of their own frightening encounters.

A guide will lead each tour group stopping to be chilled at each location along the Ghost Walk route. Tours leave every 15 minutes from under the big tent in Baldwin Canal Square. The total walking time for each is approximately 75 minutes to make all eight stops. Complimentary donuts and cider are available while you wait.

*Due to the intense scary nature of these stories and the creepy atmosphere created by the actors, this event is not appropriate for children under 11.

The Baldwinsville Center for the Arts is a non-profit, non-governmental, volunteer organization dedicated to engaging the greater Baldwinsville community with the rich value of the arts in all its forms. Organizational events including this past year's Paper Mill Island were NOT PAID with village tax dollars but through the generous support of our sponsors and are completely staffed with volunteers.
