The Westerville Uptown Merchants Association Presents Midnight Madness 2015

A long-time Uptown tradition, the Westerville Uptown Merchants Association presents Midnight Madness on October 23, 2015 from 6 p.m. to Midnight.

Midnight Madness is an annual showcase event for the Uptown Westerville merchants. With decorated shops, treats, surprises, and scary good deals, it’s a fun opportunity to visit Uptown Westerville. This is the night for visitors to check out their favorite haunts and dare to venture where they’ve never been before!

Along with extended shop hours, Midnight Madness features a selection of kid and family-friendly events. While costumes are optional, merchants hope to see kids and grown ups dressed in their seasonal best. The Uptown Merchants will be passing out treats for the kids.
