November 6, 2013 (El Cajon) – Exceeding expectations, the second Annual HauntFest on Main celebration, held on Friday, October 25, was deemed as an overwhelming success by City officials. The Halloween themed event drew an estimated 20,000 people to downtown El Cajon. 

Festivities were from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. with free admission.  Partygoers enjoyed live bands on multiple stages, such as: Paul Cannon, Fuzzy Rankins, Rockola, Jason Weber and Back to the Garden.  Families enjoyed the Terror Truck, the classic cars, the trick or treating booths, the movies on the giant movie screen, rides and games, pumpkin patch, craft booths, costumes, art show, and more.

The restaurants were packed, and the crowd had a fun, safe, and memorable time. Highlights also included a Downtown Art Walk and a juried art show, costume contests, one for adults and one for kids, and a haunted car contest.  Next years’ event promises to be even better, organizers promise.

Proceeds from some of the venues benefited St. Madeleine’s Sophie’s Center.
