Join in on the Walpurgisnacht Fun

Call it Walpurgisnacht, May Eve, Walpurgis Night, Lemuria, Lemuralia, Beltane... every culture has it. There are two times when Summer and Winter meet, when the air is full of paradox and turmoil, and when the seen and the unseen meet. The veil is at its thinnest, and the spirit world is palpably close. One happens in October on the 31st, the other happens in April on the 30th.

Bring your spookiest stories. Listen to the tales of your fellow storytellers, and vote on your favorites. The best stories get prizes, all for free! The ghost story contest starts at 8 PM and will go well into the night. Everyone is welcome - you’ll hear stories from all ages, as well as from a few kids who grew up with ghost stories on Walpurgisnacht as a yearly tradition.

Bonfires make light rain and snow immaterial, but in case of deep drifts, storms, or other impediments to outdoor storytelling, the Geek Emporium at 129 W Broadway in Butte will serve as a backup location.
