💜🖤 Lurch Fest 2026 🖤💜
Philippi celebrates hometown legend Ted Cassidy, the iconic actor behind Lurch from The Addams Family, with a festival as wonderfully weird as the man himself!

Join us Saturday, August 1, 2026, from noon to dark, for the sixth annual Lurch Fest—featuring spooky fun, themed vendors, costume contests, live entertainment, creepy photo ops, a relaxing river paddle, and tons of Lurch merch you won’t find anywhere else! 💀🛶👕
