Join Us!
As dusk settles over Junction City and the crisp autumn breeze dances through the streets, open your ears to the whispers of the past. Can you hear them? The faint echoes of bygone footsteps, the rhythmic cadence of horse hooves on dirt, or the distant hum of a train pulling into the depot. These are the lingering sounds that echo the history of Junction City, Kansas.
Join Junction City Main Street for our third annual Boos and Brews, a spine-chilling walking tour through downtown where haunted history comes to life.
Why Attend Boos & Brews?
Aside from the spooky fun, Boos & Brews is also a signature fundraiser for downtown Junction City. Every ticket sold is a breath of new life into our district, supporting future holiday light installations throughout downtown. 🖤
This year, Boos & Brews carries a special America 250 twist. As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, we’re weaving together the haunted history of Junction City with the spirit, stories, and shadows of America’s past.
So as you wander, sip, and uncover the stories of the past… know that you’re helping shape the future of Junction City, too!
New This Year! Boos & Chills — Teen Night
For the first time ever, we’re introducing a Teen Night experience called Boos & Chills!
On Saturday, October 17th, the 7:00 PM and 7:10 PM tour groups will be reserved for teens only! These groups will feature a slightly adjusted tour route and a fully alcohol-free experience, while still delivering all the chilling stories, immersive moments, and spooky fun. Each group is guided through their tour with a JC Main Street and JC Little Theater volunteer and will be closely monitored to make sure teen attendees are in a safe and alcohol-free environment.
Boos & Brews is a Safe Event!
In addition to our safety-focused, adjusted, Teen Night experience called Boos & Chill, Boos & Brews is thoughtfully designed to be a safe, paced, and enjoyable evening for all attendees.
All guests must present a valid ID at check-in and will receive a wristband indicating whether they are 21+ and legally permitted to consume alcohol in accordance with U.S. drinking laws.
This event is structured as a guided walking tour, with stops spread throughout downtown, allowing ample time between beverages. The experience is intentionally paced so guests can comfortably enjoy each stop, soak in the stories, and move through the evening responsibly.
Nonalcoholic beverage options are available throughout the night for all attendees, and we encourage everyone to enjoy the event in a way that feels right for them.
Junction City Main Street is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and responsible environment for everyone attending.
