Ahh Fall… the crisp air, the leaves changing, the coziest of times of year. It’s also such a nice time of year to cuddle up to the one you love and enjoy each others company. Howard County has some great options for date night ideas. Looking for a fall focus? Here at TCM, we have you covered!

Haunted Main Street: Into spooky things during the fall? This date night idea is perfect for you. Every Saturday night during October, from 8:30 - 10:00 PM main street hosts - Haunted Main Street. Old Ellicott City is a resilient town, over 250 years old, with great shops and a vibrant night life…so is it any wonder that the many ghosts who still call this town home remain to see if they can still raise the hairs on the back of your neck?

Before the ghost tour, grab some drinks and something to eat at Phoenix on Upper Main and then snuggle up tight with your significant other as you go through a spooky tour.
