The Hubbard is reaching out to engage businesses and organizations throughout the city to participate in a day of activities and events around the themes, characters, and settings of King’s many novels, short stories, and films.

This day will bring people to the city throughout the day to participate in events such as the Pet Sematary Costumed Pet Parade, the Christine’s Classic Car Show, themed food and beverages at participating restaurants, a Paper Boat float on the Kennebec, Paint Your Own Horrorscape, and more. We are looking for everyone to bring their creativity and imagination to the day.

The full day of events and activities will happen throughout the city, in such spaces as the Library, the Chamber of Commerce, City Hall auditorium, Granite Park, Vaughn Woods and Homestead, shops and restaurants, the bike path, and more. While we are not currently planning a parade, we expect that this day’s events will bring in people from around Central Maine to enjoy an early spring day of fun and horror.
