Haunted Museum Storytelling Festival 2026

On Saturday, October 24, the Tennessee State Museum will celebrate its 28th annual Haunted Museum Storytelling Festival. Begun in the fall of 1998, this family day has become one of the most anticipated days of the year at the Museum. It offers families a free, fun and safe Halloween event for children of all ages. Each year, the Museum dresses up in its Halloween décor and presents games, crafts, stories and prizes. Kids wear their costumes and settle in to hear spooky stories from Tennessee’s past.
Stay tuned for a full schedule of events.
