A Milford tattoo shop is sponsoring a haunted alley for St. Patrick’s Day
Community events were a way of life in Milford until COVID-19 caused the cancellation of practically everything ā concerts, festivals, haunted houses.
Mike Perfetti hopes to change that on a small basis Saturday.
Perfetti and his Delaware Branding Co., a tattoo and piercing shop in downtown Milford, are sponsoring a St. Patrickās Day haunted walk-through in the alley next door to the studio at 19 N.W. Front St.
Itās just a way to make up for some of the fun lost in the last year, said Perfetti.

“Milford is known for its festivals.ā he said. He’s previously sponsored events such as Mirufodocon, Milfordās first anime convention.
When he heard the annual St. Patrickās Day pub crawl was canceled this year, he decided to do something.
The alley will feature static displays populated by actors as evil leprechauns, ghouls and goblins. Participants will be able to walk through with their group toward a band playing at the end.
Perfetti believes people are looking for something to do.Ā
Since coming up with the idea for the alley walk-through, heās had people call him every day saying they want to help.
Ā Maintaining social distancing and wearing masks is important to keep people safe, he said.
“Itās a keep-it-moving type of thing,” he said. “A great quick night out for the family and an excellent way to prepare for your own unofficial pub crawl.ā

Perfetti said itās up to the little guy to fill space with small happenings until things can get back to normal.
Big festival promoters wonāt have time to organize events right away once everything opens up again.
This event is free and open to all ages. Donations will be accepted and proceeds will be reinvested into the next Haunted Holiday.
The St. Patrickās event starts at 7 p.m. for kids so it won’t be so dark and spooky for them; it ends at 9 p.m.
