Halloween Party at the Casket Factory Tonight!
On Friday October 24, 2014, the Jacksonville Historical Society will stage the second annual Halloween Party in the Casket Factory, following up on its 2013 success as the greatest Halloween party in Jacksonville’s history. It will take place once again at the Casket Factory, a mysterious old brick building on the edge of downtown. It is 15,000 square feet, partially covered with vines, and thought by many to be haunted.
This event is a fund-raiser to support the restoration and maintenance of Old St. Luke’s Hospital, a National Register landmark constructed in 1878 and owned by the Jacksonville Historical Society. Old St. Luke’s and the Casket Factory are located at 314 Palmetto Street, adjacent to the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
The party will include live music (including Mama Blue!) and entertainment, outstanding food bites (9pm -10:30pm; Food trucks will provide inexpenisve food options after 10:30pm), libations, dancing, a costume contest, and performers! At midnight, the winner of the Totally Amazing Costume Contest will be announced! Our theme for this year's party is Haunted Hospital!
