Bellaire’s Halloween calendar has a downtown gathering with a name made for the season. The Bellaire Witch Project is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, bringing costumes and participating-business offerings into a village-center outing.

The Bellaire Chamber’s event page advertises tarot readings at the Flying Pig, Applesauce Inn baked goods and treats available to purchase there, and creepy cocktails and dinner specials. The listed organizers are the Village of Bellaire Downtown Development Authority and Buy Local Group, together with Destination Bellaire.

The attraction is a chance to make Halloween part of a downtown visit rather than committing your entire outing to one activity. A costume can be the starting point; individual business stops, food purchases and the activities that interest your group can shape the rest of the day.

Confirm the hours before making a plan

October 24 is consistent across the published listings, but the event hours are not. The chamber’s dedicated event page gives a 2-to-9-p.m. window, and its calendar lists a 2-p.m. start. A separate DDA event entry surfaced with a 10-a.m.-to-10-p.m. window.

That discrepancy is important for anyone planning an early arrival, arranging a ride or coordinating dinner. Treat the hours as needing organizer confirmation. Do not assume that every advertised activity or participating business will be operating throughout either full window.

The chamber lists 231-533-6023 as its contact number. Ask for the current Witch Project schedule and the best organizer contact if you need activity-specific information. Its calendar is also worth revisiting before October 24 in case the event entry changes.

Choose the stops that suit your group

The advertised tarot readings and baked goods give visitors specific offerings to ask about at the Flying Pig. The event description does not publish reading prices, appointment rules or a complete menu. If one of those is the main reason for your visit, confirm availability directly instead of relying on a general event window.

Cocktails and dinner specials are also advertised without a complete venue-by-venue schedule or price list. Plan purchases as separate business transactions. The chamber listing does not establish an overall admission charge, and the absence of a price is not confirmation that every activity is free.

Costumes are part of the invitation, but the available description does not establish a costume parade, judging schedule or contest prizes. Come dressed for the season if you like, while keeping expectations tied to the activities actually listed. Comfortable shoes and a layer over a costume are sensible choices for moving between downtown stops.

Make room for a flexible downtown outing

The event entry uses 202 N. Bridge Street as its location. Because the advertised offerings involve local businesses, use the address as a planning reference and ask the organizer for a participating-business list or route. It should not be treated as proof that every activity happens inside one building.

Families can also ask which portions are intended for children and which take place in adult-oriented settings. The invitation mentions little boos alongside witches and warlocks, but it does not supply an age policy for every offering. A cocktail special, for example, is a different kind of stop from buying a baked treat.

Before heading downtown, settle the timing question, choose the activities that matter most and set a food or shopping budget. Bellaire’s Witch Project has the makings of a varied Halloween outing; the practical next step is checking the organizer’s final schedule so your visit matches what is actually happening.
