Listen for the sounds of legendary Indian chants. Hear tales of terror from the Seaport Storyteller. Then, enjoy hot cider and creature cookies. After a lesson on pirates, children are invited to translate what they've learned into a scary Pirate-faced pumpkin. Participants can enter their pumpkin in the Painted Pirate Pumpkin contest on Friday, October 13, as part of Mooncussers Night at the Seaport from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Spooky entertainment and ghostly lore will make it a Haunted Seaport.
Visitors can enjoy a scavenger hunt for orange and black clamshells labeled with prize awards.
