Fright at the Fort has attracted over 10,000 visitors in the past, and event organizers hope to top that number this year. Fright will be conducted on Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 19, 20, 26 and 27, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. (visitors should arrive by 8:30 p.m.).

The Friends of Fort Knox use revenue generated from Fright at the Fort in preservation projects for the State historic site.

This marks the 13th year of Fright, and it will be celebrated with a special fireworks display the second night of Saturday, Oct. 20 at 9:20 p.m. The fireworks will be viewable from the Bucksport waterfront. The display is sponsored by the Friends of Fort Knox and coincides with the Bucksport Chamber of Commerce's annual Ghostport activities, Saturday, Oct. 20. Two additional sponsors of the fireworks are the Atlas fireworks company and WKIT radio, who will provide a musical simulcast during the fireworks display.
