Often the “Star of the Show” - guests appreciate the wide-open spaces to explore. The 200,000 square foot, historic Starline Factory building was built over 100 years ago. Today it provides a great space to safely distance while visiting the events, dining, shopping, and more!

Wear a costume and be part of the entertainment! How creative and spooky can you be? 

Dine outside at the Terrace Grill or inside at the Stanchion Pub. Both restaurants offer a variety of food and drink specials. The 4th Friday Buffet Special is a big hit for attendees of the event. Drinks are also available at a variety of bars throughout the building on 4^th Friday evenings.
