This October, Lambertville will once again be transformed by the whimsical, wonderfully strange world of artist Dolores Dragan as Memory Maker's Trail of Magic returns on October 1st. Presented by the Lambertville Creative Arts Fund (LCAF), the month-long event brings Dolores's iconic Halloween characters - known affectionately as the Dragans - to windows and businesses throughout Lambertville, creating a walkable trail of art, imagination and discovery. New this year, visitors can experience the Trail through a free audio tour, making it even easier to explore the installations while discovering the businesses and locations that bring the event to life. The Memory Maker's Trail of Magic is free and open to the public throughout October. Visitors are encouraged to make a day - or a weekend - of it, exploring the displays while enjoying Lambertville's shops, restaurants, galleries and historic streets.
