UTICA — A star of the “Twilight” vampire movie series is due to sign autographs at the debut of Utica’s new weekend-long Halloween-festival in late October, city Mayor David Roefaro said Monday.
The “Fright Nights” festival, presented by the city and Keeler Productions, will take place in Hanna Park outside City Hall on Friday, Oct. 22, from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. and on Saturday, Oct. 23, from 4 p.m. until 1 a.m.
Peter Facinelli, who played vampire doctor Carlisle Cullen in the latest “Twilight” movie, will sign autographs from 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23, until midnight. The festival will also feature live music, local foods, carnival rides, games, and local vendors.
Friday’s events will include a beer and wine happy hour from 5 to 8 p.m. and a performance by the nationally acclaimed “Disco Divas.” Tim Creaser, a Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond sound-a-like, will perform both nights, and Dashboard Nixon will perform Saturday.
Costume contests are slated for both children and adults on Saturday, and a canned food drive organized by APAC Customer Services will benefit local food pantries.
