Enjoy Soul Cakes from a local bakery, learn about quirky Halloween customs, and participate in a costume contest with exciting prizes. With delicious treats and spooky spirits, this unforgettable experience is perfect for adults!

This tour gives you that spooky Halloween feels with ghost stories throughout many of Milwaukee’s most popular neighborhoods, along with the history behind some really unique traditions. Want to enjoy Soul Cakes and join in the British culinary tradition known as “Souling” while in a cemetery? A local bakery has re-created a Soul-Cake recipe from the 1800’s just for us. We’ll cover the the light-hearted side of Halloween too. Interested in learning why we’ll be carving turnips instead of pumpkins this Halloween? Did you know that commercials for the 1984 film Ghostbusters included a phone number for a fake ghostbusting service? DYING to find out how many calls that phone number received for 6 weeks after the movie came out? This tour might just be the one for you! Be sure to dress up in your best Halloween costume for a costume contest complete with great prizes! With BOO-ze and spirits involved on this tour, everyone must be at least 21 years old to participate.
