They all come together to create a fun and safe environment for families in the community. Plus, we can’t forget to mention that admission to both festivities is completely free! That’s right – no tickets, no fees, just a whole lot of Halloween spirit! What could be better?

Parents, guardians, and loved ones are encouraged to bring their little ones out for a night of excitement and community bonding. With a variety of activities planned at each venue—from candy stations to costume contests—there’s something to entertain kids and adults alike. As the community continues to grow, it’s events like these that help to strengthen our connections and create cherished memories.
