🎃 MARK YOUR CALENDAR! 🎃

October 2nd & 3rd

👻 Jerome’s 19th Annual Ghost Walk
Presented by local thespians and the Jerome Historical Society.
A Jerome tradition and definitely a do-not-miss event! Come hear the stories, meet a few of Jerome’s former residents, and discover why some folks say the town never truly lets go of its past.

🎨 Jerome Art Walk: The First Saturday of every month from 5:00–8:00 PM

Local businesses stay open late, showcasing the incredible work of our artists and makers, with live music at select locations.
Come wander the streets, browse the galleries, listen to the music, enjoy the crisp autumn air—and keep one eye open for anything that looks suspiciously transparent. 👀👻

🎃 Halloween Night!

💃🕺 Jerome Halloween Dance: Saturday, October 31, 2026 8PM-1AM

Halloween in Jerome wouldn't be Halloween without the legendary Halloween Dance! Held beneath the HUGE party tent down by the Sliding Jail, this beloved tradition is approaching 60 years of partying! 🎃👻

Sponsored by the Jerome Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary as a fundraiser benefiting our amazing local fire department, this is one Halloween celebration you won't want to miss.

This event is 21+, thanks to the open bar—so come prepared for lively guests, lively libations, and wonderful live music! 🍹🎶
And, of course, this is Jerome…

So don't be surprised if a few of our resident ghosts decide to join the party. They may have been haunting the hill for decades, but apparently they still know how to dance! 👻💃

Come for the music. Stay for the spirits. Just don't be surprised if you leave with a few stories of your own. 😈

🍁 We’ll see you on the hill soon!

And remember: you may arrive as a visitor, but you never know who—or what—might follow you home. 👻

Good morning Cottonwood 🥓🥞
One of the greatest joys of owning a restaurant isn’t just the food—it’s the wonderful people who walk through our doors. Some customers stay for a season, while others become part of the Annie’s family.
The Goddard/Boland family has been part of our story from the very beginning, and they will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️
Here are three generations together at Annie’s: Don, his son-in-law Marty, and Don’s grandson, Colton. Just look at those smiles! This is what makes our little restaurant so special—good food, treasured friendships, and generations of Verde Valley families gathering around our tables.
Thank you for growing right alongside us. We love having you as part of the Annie’s family! 🥞☕️❤️

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the brave first responders who ran toward danger to help others.
May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and unity our nation showed that day. 🇺🇸
From all of us at Annie’s Restaurant, we remember and honor them—today and always. ❤️🤍💙
