Lee — Although Main Street is not adorned with spiderwebs, the prominent boulevard is preparing to show its spooky side.
All Hallows Lee will embark on its succeeding year of festivities, on October 17 and 18, after the event drew crowds in 2024. Sponsored by the Lee Chamber of Commerce, the program is organized by business owners Kerry McGinn of Yoga Lee studio and Nicole Clark of The Enchanted Altar, in collaboration with Berkshire Moonlit Markets.
“Now in its second year, All Hallows Lee is quickly becoming one of our community’s favorite fall traditions,” Lee Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Alexandra Heddinger said. “It brings great energy and color to downtown, with families and visitors filling Main Street to enjoy the season—from live entertainment and creative costumes to trick-or-treating at local businesses and shopping in the Vendor Village.”
The weekend’s programming begins with the “Gathering of Spirits: Whispers of Love & Light from Beyond the Veil,” a reading and fundraiser at Greenock Country Club, 220 West Park Street, on October 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. The show features Pam Ellis, also known as The Berkshire Medium, a certified Reiki Master Practitioner who offers spiritual readings to guests. The program includes light snacks, complimentary coffee and tea, and alcoholic beverages for purchase.
Hosted by the Lee Kiwanis Club in honor of October serving as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the project is part of the organization’s Paint the Town Pink program that raises funds for the Phelps Cancer Center’s Patient Care Assistance Program in Pittsfield. Attendees are asked to arrive between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. so the program can begin on time.
“This is more than an event—it is a circle of remembrance, a night of sacred presence, and a chance to honor both the living and the departed under October’s watchful moon,” a Gallery news release states.

The stars are realigned October 18 with the Alternative Artisanal Festival from noon to 5 p.m. The program features a Vendor Village at Town Park that offers goods, food, performances, and activities including face painting, henna, a photo booth, and a dog costume parade. Guests will be entertained by live music courtesy of The Sirens and Dust Bowl Faeries. The autumn market will show off the circus talents of Chalk Gremlin Circus, and Berkshire Be-Witches will also make an appearance.
The Yoga Lee Studio, 62 Main Street, is set to transform into a psychic parlor, offering tarot reading and healing sessions.
More music and revelry complete the night as a bar crawl ensues through the downtown sector beginning at 5 p.m.
Costumes are encouraged.
“It’s a perfect reason to come out, celebrate autumn in Lee, and support the shops, restaurants, and makers who keep our town thriving,” Heddinger said. “There’s something for everyone—laughter, music, local flavor, and plenty of Halloween fun.”
