What’s New in the 315: Markets, Music & a Few Good Ghosts 👻

Celebrate fall with the Market at Appley, spooky 315 road trips, and a stacked lineup of live shows across Central NY.

Halloween is coming up. We’re looking for great spots to see real haunted tours, local halloween and horror attractions, and the best places to trick or treat that are safe and fun for the whole family.

This week, we found a few great spots to tour around the 315 for the amateur paranormal investigator. We’re building an article for the website with more details (coming soon). Also, we’re digitally co-hosting an amazing new indoor market in Hamilton. Check out more below.

Do you know someone who would enjoy What’s Happening 315? Give us a share.
