Riverfront Canal Cruises hosts three special nights of hauntingly narrated canal boat tours. From Friday, October 25 through Sunday, October 27, special 20-minute tours leave every half hour (on the hour and half hour) from 5:00-9:00 p.m., with the last boat departing at 8:30 p.m.

This year’s Eerie Canal Tour theme is Edgar Allen Poe’s Nightmares! Guests will be plunged into the gothic and macabre mind of Edgar Allan Poe. The tours will feature décor and vignettes from Poe’s most famous works such as “The Raven,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Pit and the Pendulum” along with costumed guides narrating his stories as passengers travel down the Kanawha Canal, drifting through the spooky sights and sounds of Richmond’s oldest and most historically haunted Shockoe district.

Little ghouls and ghosts in attendance will receive a special candy treat. This Eerie Canal Tour is best suited for kids aged 7 and over. Boats depart from the Canal Walk’s Turning Basin at 139 Virginia Street. Admission is $6. Kids aged four and under are free.

Tickets go on sale October 1 and are ONLY sold online. For tickets and more information please visit Eerie Canal Halloween Cruises.
