Witches take over downtown: Main Street Medina hosts Ladies Night Out Oct. 23

Main Street Medina’s popular Ladies Night Out will return Thursday, Oct. 23, from 5 to 8:30 p.m., transforming Medina’s Historic District and South Town into a spellbinding evening of shopping, cocktails and Halloween fun.

Guests are encouraged to wear their best witch-themed attire, enjoy “witch’s brew” cocktails and take part in a night of laughter, music and magical surprises. Shops and restaurants throughout downtown will offer themed discounts, giveaways and free samples.

Participants can enter the Best Dressed Contest, with prizes awarded for Best Good Witch, Best Movie-Accurate Witch and Best Glam Witch. Details on how to enter are available on Main Street Medina’s Facebook page.

More than 25 businesses will take part in the event. Guests can pose for free themed photos at Huntington Bank from 5 to 7 p.m., hop aboard the complimentary BVIP limo to visit participating locations, and stop by the pop-up VCS Hair and Nail Salon at All Fired Up.

Shoppers can also pick up a passport at Huntington Bank for a chance to win prizes when they make purchases of $5 or more at at least five locations. There will be no online passport. Another stop on the route is the Fair Trade Halloween Bus at Romancing the Walls, 443 W. Liberty St., offering a “not-so-spooky” experience and treats.

Summa Health is this year’s title sponsor, with Trillium Creek Dermatology and Renewal by Andersen serving as presenting sponsors.
