While the Witch Walk is no more, Murphys is excited to welcome you back to our newest annual event, The Murphys Gathering, coming on Saturday, October 19th, 2024. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for a day of witchy wonders. We encourage you to bring the kids, your friends, or your family and show up in your best witchy, wizardly, whimsical, and magical garb.

Murphys Dia de Los Muertos will be back on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024!  There will be traditional artisan vendors, food, drink, and a community altar in the Park, and, as always, local businesses will be displaying ofrendas honoring those who we have lost but are still with us in spirit. 

Get dressed up and raise a glass to those who are in our hearts.

Every year on the first Friday in December, Murphys celebrates the start of the holiday season with a Community Open House from 5 to 8 pm. Admission is free, the streets are closed, and we are ready to celebrate. Open House is a great time to peruse Murphys’ shops, tasting rooms, and restaurants, see what’s new, visit with old friends, admire the community tree, and appreciate our small-town spirit.

Please make a reservation as we book up for this annual event.
