VOLANT, Pa. - The 10th annual Witches Nigh Out event is returning to Volant Mills Saturday, September 25. 

Volant village will be transformed into a spooky setting where witches and warlocks will descend. 

The event runs from 10a.m. to 9p.m., and will include multiple events. 

Children and adult costume contests will take place, as well as a cackling contest, all day shopping, dining and dancing. There will also be a DJ playing music, and a karaoke contest. 

Three Grove City area hotels will be bussing patrons to the event, and attendees will also be able to park at Neshannock High School and take a shuttle to and from Volant. 

Last year, the festival attracted thousands after most of the Volant events were canceled due to COVID-19. 

"Although last year's event was our biggest ever, we expect to top it this year, since we have expanded our range of activities to make it more family-friendly," Dale Murawski, the owner of Ms. Scarlett's Gourmet Coffee, Fudge, and Specialty Items and Fox's Pizza said. "This year, we will have brought in more vendors, bringing it to a total of 20 outside vendors.

Vendors will serve hot food, such as pulled pork and chicken Philly sandwiches. 

Dawn Durnell, who co owns Gluten Free by D&D's Bakery with her daughter DeeAnna Hilliard, is urging people to come out to the event. 

"It's going to be crazy fun", said Durnell.
