🎃 MANNEQUIN NIGHT IS BACK IN DENTON! 👻

Get ready for a night of creepy creativity, spooky surprises, and a little Halloween magic in Downtown Denton!

🕸️ Saturday, October 10 | 5–7 PM

Downtown businesses are bringing Vintage Halloween to life with LIVE mannequins! Watch storefronts transform into eerie scenes featuring real people posing as part of the display. Think classic monsters, old-school Halloween, and plenty of unexpected surprises!

Originally made famous in Paris, Texas, Mannequin Night has found a new home in Denton! We're thrilled to carry on this quirky Halloween tradition and give it a little Denton flair!

🦇 Participating businesses include:

🎃 Les Muses Vintage
🎃 Rose Costumes
🎃 The Pony
🎃 D20 Tavern
🎃 UNT CoLab
🎃 Steve's W**e Bar
🎃 Harvest House
🎃 Velvet Echo
🎃 Mexican Oak
🎃 Studio LaSalle
🎃 Palm Tree Boutique

Stroll through downtown, check out the displays, and see which business takes home the prize for best Mannequin Night scene!

🖤 Happening alongside the Spooky Spirits Stroll (4–7 PM), so make an evening of it!

Grab your friends, put on your spooky best, and come see Downtown Denton get a little weird. 👀
