____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Almost 50,000 costumed partygoers filled three blocks of Franklin Street on Tuesday night, reveling in Chapel Hill's annual raucous Halloween celebration.
Crowds of people milled about on Franklin Street munching on funnel cakes and taunting Medieval Knights, one of the many diverse groups participating in this year's Festifall. Festifall, an annual event held Sunday afternoon on West Franklin Street, gave residents and students a chance to eat, have fun and find out about different groups in the area. It also was an occasion for people like the Medieval Knights, a part of the Society for Creative Anachronism, and flaming-stick throwers to make an appearance. "It's our hobby and we enjoy sharing it with people," said Marina Ciaffone, who was dressed as a dame for the SCA act. But others flocked to Franklin Street for more than the eclectic gathering of groups. Berry French, a UNC sophomore, said the smells drew him and his friends. "I'm having a blast because I'm here with some good buddies," French said. "I love the loud music and the way it's community-focused." Another Festifall favorite was the activities for the children, such as face painting, a moonwalk and a colorful train ride up and down Mallette Street. "This year there has been more things for the kids to do, like the moonwalk and the train ride," said Wendy Robertson, who was there with her 6-year-old daughter Rachel and her friend Nicole Donnelly. "I've been coming every year since I was a baby," said 6-year-old Donnelly. "My favorite part is the cotton candy and the puppets," Rachel said. Another popular item was the complimentary treats, like bread from Great Harvest Bread Co. Vendors such as Tonya Crockett and Modupe Rouse of Durham, with their booth "A Soulful Taste of Nature Vegetarian Cuisine," lined the street selling their organic goods. "It's our first year vending here," Crockett said. "We wanted to let Chapel Hill experience a different type of vegetarian food." Many groups attended the event to raise funds for their various organizations, such as Sisters Living in Harmony, a new step group for children ages seven to 13. "We're raising money for our group so they can go to educational activities," said Lillie Burnette, whose granddaughter is in the group. "We just wanted to be a part of (Festifall). We look forward to it each year." Sunday offered a chance for groups such as the Irish band The Ragamuffins to come out and perform for the Franklin Street crowd. Representatives from area nonprofit groups also set up informational booths, distributing pamphlets. "We want to let people know the Red Cross is not just blood," said Mandy Hollowell, a team captain of the Chapel Hill Red Cross. "Other sources are equally important." The Chapel Hill police were on hand to make sure the scene stayed calm. "We mostly made sure that no one brings a dog in and that people on their bikes get off and walk them through," said officer Steve Bradley of the Chapel Hill police.
