LAWRENCEVILLE
Ghost tours
Cool off this weekend by sending a shiver down your spine. The after-dark ghost tours of downtown Lawrenceville are sure to give you goose bumps. The walking excursions begin and end in front of the Aurora Theatre. From there, attendees follow costumed guides who recount hair-raising tales of the dead walking the streets, strange and recent events that occurred in local businesses, and eerie experiences in the Old Jail. The tour lasts 90 minutes, and advanced tickets are recommended.
7 p.m. and 9 p.m. July 10 and 11. $12 adults, $9 children. Aurora Theatre, 128 E. Pike St., Lawrenceville. 678-226-6222, scarystroll.com.
