|  Skeletons are coming to Kalamazoo!
This October there will be specially-crafted, one-of-a-kind skeletons throughout downtown! From wild and wacky, to spooky and eerie, these skeletons are designed to reflect local businesses and organizations unique to Kalamazoo.
The skeletons will be revealed officially on Saturday, October 5 with a kick off party on Bates Alley! Bates Alley will be lined with kids activities, live music, and a professional pumpkin carving demonstration. Afterward, make sure to walk, or take the Trolley of Terror, around downtown to enjoy the wide variety of skeletons and even a featured drink special event.
