The second annual Witches Midnight Market will be held from 2-11 p.m. Saturday along First Street and expects to attract close to 10,000 people.

Hosted by the Lehighton Area Merchants Association, it will be the final of three street festivals, according to Tina Henninger, owner of Wine & More on 1st.

Henninger noted that last year’s inaugural event in the borough brought in over 7,000 people, and added it’s the group’s largest festival.

“This is the largest witch-based festival on the East Coast, outside of Salem, Massachusetts,” Henninger said. “Join us and over 150 vendors, food trucks, performers, and musicians to celebrate that spooky time of year.”

Henninger said the Witches’ Walk/Parade will start at 4 p.m., and again at sunset (around 6:30 p.m.). The walks are immediately followed by dancing the Hexenbrut in the street.

“This year, we have hired a local drone pilot to take photos,” she said. “Next year we are hoping to break the record for the largest Hexenbrut in the USA.”

Henninger said this year’s event will have two stages for live music performances, including Sixteen Candles Hatter and Two Taboo Strange Culture, and DJ Dave.

Also, she said Mikey Roxx will perform on the First Street Stage, while The Zenith will play on the Second Street Stage.

After the sunset Hexenbrut, Aerial Inferno will delight guests with their daring acts and storytelling, she said.

Aerial Inferno is a circus and fire performance troupe homegrown in eastern Pennsylvania that will be presenting their show COVEN.
