  Hosted by "Portsmouth Hauntings" author Roxie Zwicker, this is an extended ghost tour that visits historical sites that may be populated by ghosts and ghouls galore!

A portion of all Jell-O shot sales will also benefit the parade! @ Daniel Street Tavern, 111 Daniel St, Portsmouth, NH
• Saturday, October 22 – Pumpkin Smash!
  Smash a pumpkin, support the parade! It’s that easy. Pick a pumpkin from the pile, choose from an arsenal of mallets, two by fours or the trusty ol’ Louisville Slugger and swing away. A Portsmouth Halloween tradition that has become the October catharsis of choice for young and old alike. Smashing implements supplied! @ Portsmouth Farmers’ Market, City Hall, 1 Junkins Ave, Portsmouth, NH - 8:00 am-12:00 pm
