Farmville Downtown Partnership

Farmville Downtown Partnership The Farmville Downtown Partnership is a non-profit organization representing the designated historic district of Farmville.

Farmville Downtown Partnership is the 501c3 not-for-profit public-private partner with the Town of Farmville. Founded for the purpose of spearheading the revitalization efforts for the historic commercial district of Farmville. With volunteered time, talents, and energies of interested persons and groups in Farmville, VA, the group employs the Main Street Four Point Approach to downtown revitalization in the context of a historic downtown neighborhood. Incorporated in 1798, Farmville grew on the banks of the Appomattox River in the heart of Virginia. The town's economy was fueled by agriculture - primarily, tobacco, manufacturing, and transportation. Farmville is home to two institutions of higher learning: Hampden-Sydney College, founded November11, 1775, and Longwood College - formerly the state teacher's college, or Normal School - founded in 1839. Today, Farmville is a thriving community with business, industry, academia, and civic life all working together to perpetuate the rich legacy of its founders and early leaders. In addition to working with the Town of Farmville, the Main Street organization is working in close partnership with Prince Edward County, both Longwood University and Hampden-Sydney College, retail merchants, service providers, civic and community groups, and interested citizens to strengthen and support historic Farmville's downtown business district.

Something spooky is coming to Downtown Farmville… 🎃👀

The streets are getting darker. The scares are getting closer. And this October, Downtown Farmville is in for a fright. 🕸️🦇

Family-friendly fun kicks things off from 5–7 PM, but when the sun goes down… things get a little…scarier.

Costumes. Scare actors. Pumpkin painting. Photo ops. Vendors. And a few surprises we’re keeping in the dark for now. 👻

Stay tuned. You’ll want to see what’s coming next. 🎃

🎃👻 Farmville Fright Night IS LOOKING FOR CHARACTERS & SCARE ACTORS! 👻🎃

Love Halloween? Love dressing up? Have a flair for the dramatic — or just really enjoy scaring people? We need your help bringing Farmville Fright Night to life!

Join us on Friday, October 30 at the Farmville Farmers Market for one of two volunteer experiences — or sign up for both!

From 5:00–7:00 PM, we’re looking for family-friendly Halloween characters to roam the event, greet families, interact with kids and pose for photos. Friendly witches, ghosts, vampires, scarecrows, skeletons, pirates, princesses, superheroes, storybook villains and other creative characters are welcome. This portion should be fun, festive and approachable for our youngest visitors. 🎃✨

Then, from 7:00–9:00 PM, the fright comes out. 💀 We need scare actors ready to transform the event after dark. Zombies, creepy clowns, haunted dolls, monsters, witches, possessed scarecrows, ghosts, masked creatures — bring your best terrifying character and help us create scares throughout the event and haunted areas.

No professional acting experience is required. We’re looking for theatre and drama students, actors, Halloween fanatics, friend groups, college and high school students, and anyone willing to put on a costume, get into character and have some fun.

Want to participate in both shifts? Absolutely! You can start the night as a family-friendly character and change into your scarier costume before the 7–9 PM portion. A public restroom at High Bridge Caboose Plaza will be available for costume and makeup changes.

📍 Farmville Farmers Market
📅 Friday, October 30
🎃 Family-Friendly Characters: 5:00–7:00 PM
💀 Scare Actors: 7:00–9:00 PM
⏰ Please arrive 15 minutes before your shift, fully costumed and ready to go.

Ready to join us? Email [email protected] or [email protected] to sign up or get more information.

And PLEASE help us find our cast — share this post and tag the person you know would be way too good at this. 👀🎭

Come be part of the inaugural Farmville Fright Night! 🕸️🎃👻

Can you believe Rock the Block was just over a week ago?✨

It was a good night. Main Street was full, the music was loud, and it was really nice to see so many familiar faces out there.

Downtown Farmville really is something special when we all show up together.

More to come. 🎸
See you at Farmville Fridays!
