Owners of Westport business holding free admission one-day family Halloween festival this week featuring music, photo ops, trick or treating, roaming monsters

Westport, MA – The Cat And Raven, a local crystal & psychic shop and the organizers behind Westport Pride Fest, are serving up another free-to-attend family-friendly festival. But this time, they’ve set their sights on a familiar friend in All Hallow’s Eve.

The owners, Keith & Jessie Dias, are Halloween lovers themselves and have decided to put a new spin on an old favorite.

“The Carnivale of the Arcane was a small, traveling “psychic fair” that we organized
years ago” said Keith Dias of The Cat And Raven. “It made appearances across the South Coast, from Swansea to Fairhaven, at farms, parks, psychic shops and even pet stores” he continued.

“And this year marks the 10th Anniversary of our last one – back in 2014” added Jessie Dias.

Reborn and rebranded as a larger, one-day interactive festival, the Carnivale now features free admission & parking with entertainment including DJ, live band, photo ops, trick or treating, roaming monsters & more. Plus, the fest will also be serving up food, drinks, sweet treats, crafters, vendors and of course the mystics – local south coast psychics & mediums.

Carnivale of the Arcane will be held on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 11 am – 5:00 pm rain or shine at the Holy Ghost Club located at 171 Sodom Road in Westport, MA

Since opening their doors back in 2020, the Dias’ have and continue to seek out new avenues that foster and promote positivity. From attending and sponsoring local fairs & events to leading programs for the Westport Recreation Department, they love engaging with members of their community. Returning to the world of events offers them amazing new opportunities to further their efforts.

“To be honest, it was organizing Westport Pride Fest that lit the spark and led to the
resurrection of the Carnivale” said Jessie Dias of The Cat And Raven. “Seeing the community united, enjoying time together – that’s something we need more of” stated Keith Dias.
