DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Costumes, candy and fall fun are just three days away as Boo Fest returns to downtown Dothan on Saturday, Oct. 24.
The outdoor festival runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Porter Park Events Plaza and along North Saint Andrews Street. Admission is free, and no registration is required to attend, according to Dothan Leisure Services. Some offerings carry a separate charge.
