Description
WANDERING SHADOWS: A DARK MARKET EXPERIENCE ![]()
As daylight fades over the harbor, something a little darker is moving in…
Join Wandering Whymsies, Grays Harbor Historical Seaport & Olympic Paranormal for an all-day Halloween experience that transforms as the sun goes down—from family-friendly spooky fun to an atmospheric Dark Market, followed by a ticketed paranormal investigation into the harbor’s history.
2–6 PM | LIGHTS ON AT THE MARKET — FREE TO ATTEND
Bring the whole family! Wander through an amazing collection of decorated vendors, enjoy activities and games sponsored by Hot Diggity Dogs & More, and follow the Trick-or-Treat Trail through the market. Costumes are absolutely encouraged.
6–10 PM | WANDERING SHADOWS DARK MARKET — FREE TO ATTEND
At 6, the lights go down and the market changes. Shop by the glow of vendor lights while exploring a warehouse filled with unusual finds, curiosities, art, oddities, witchy wares and spooky creations. Grab a bite, have a drink, listen to music, linger awhile, and enjoy the atmosphere.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the event.
ECHOES OF THE HARBOR — TICKETED EXPERIENCE
7:00–9:00 PM & 9:30–11:30 PM
When darkness settles over the Seaport, step beyond the market and into Echoes of the Harbor—a guided paranormal investigation through three locations connected to the harbor’s past.
Alongside Olympic Paranormal, guests will hear pieces of the darker history surrounding the property and have the opportunity to investigate using equipment such as spirit boxes, EMF meters and dowsing rods.
Bring your own paranormal equipment, camera or phone if you'd like.
Echoes of the Harbor requires a separate ticket. Space is limited.
