The 2012 event will be spread over three wonderful Arizona Fall days (October 26th, 27th & 31st). The event features fun things to do from a traditional home-town pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating & a costume contest, to a unique visit of our 1910 historic jail, a 2+ hour downtown walking tour of the Ghosts of Globe, and the new Saturday-Night Gypsy Village Experience.

“Here in the village we hold our culture strong, so I won’t talk about it. We put good intentions into our work, and look forward to the person who will wear it. We do a prayer- a blessing- for the wearer of the piece, and we hope they accept this with their heart- all of the teaching from the Parents and from our Family.”
