Flash Fright Night Tours - Open Call!
Jerome State Historic Park
August 3 - October 12, 2026
Flash Fright Night is our Annual Historic Event that occurs at night in October. There are many roles to fill - be a ghost of someone from Jerome's past or be a guide to help our attendees find their way about a dark mansion route that takes them through several historic scenes.
Sign up early to get your volunteer spot on the roster as a wandering ghost or first dibs for a role in one of the scenes. This doesn't take talent but takes imagination and willingness to use costume and historic facts to entertain our guests. We will also need help with set-up and break down of props on the day before, the day of and day after.
Costume help is available.
