2022 Skeletober in La Grange Walking Map
Event Description:
Make no bones about it. La Grange businesses are serious about celebrating Halloween as they pose light-hearted skeletons in front of their shops, offices and restaurants as part of a spirited celebration called "Skeletober."
This is the seventh year that the La Grange Business Association is organizing the display of boney visitors as a way to entice foot traffic to the business district. Over 30 skeletons designed to tickle your funny bone are going up for display along the sidewalks. The skeletons, seeming to be living their best afterlife, are posed as themed characters such as waiters, dancers, princesses and more.
Check out each unique skeleton by following a printed walking map available at local businesses which indicates where each skeleton is located. The fall promotion is sponsored by Cameo Dental Specialists and Jasinski Home Team Berkshire Hathaway Home Services and is held with support from the Village of La Grange.
People are encouraged to take pictures with the engaging skeletons and post on Facebook or Instagram by tagging the La Grange Business Association and using the hashtag #skeletober to be entered in random prize drawings throughout the month.
Other spooktacular events happening during Skeletober include:
Skeleton Scavenger Hunt, beginning on Saturday, October 8 through October 31. Visitors can team up with family and friends for a scavenger hunt throughout downtown La Grange. Follow the clues to 10 locations to be entered in a random drawing. Start your scavenger hunt here!
