Nightmare on Main is returning to the streets of Germantown on Saturday, Oct. 10. The event will feature a car show, food, a Halloween costume contest and live music from LEDFOOT.

Nightmare on Main will run 4-8 pm on Saturday and include food trucks, extended hours for downtown businesses, a beer truck, and local artisan/vendor booths.

Car Show
All vehicles are welcome to the car show, but it will coincide with the 7th annual Jeepers Creepers gathering. Jeeps will meet at O’Reilly’s Auto Parts and convoy to Germantown with a Police escort.

Vehicle owners are encouraged to bring candy for a trunk-or-treat with kids.

Costume Contest
Nightmare on Main will include a costume contest. Adult, child and pet judging will be 5-7 pm in front of Arpp, Root & Carter Funeral Home on Main Street. Winners from each category will be announced at 7:30 pm and receive a cash prize.
