Welcome to the Nightmare Off 8th Street

Nightmare Off 8th Street is Manitowoc’s new Halloween street festival—an evening of live music, food trucks, seasonal vendors, and fall fun in the heart of downtown.

For one night only, wander down to Buffalo Street and enjoy an open-air block party; shop seasonal goods, grab something delicious to eat, and enjoy a killer line-up of entertainment.

Interested in being part of the event? We’re currently accepting applications for vendors and sponsors!
