In the spirit of Halloween, costumes are encouraged. But because this event is geared toward families with young children, we ask adults not to wear scary costumes or costumes that cover their faces. There’s no safer or more exciting way for families with children of all ages to enjoy Halloween!
Help us stay green by bringing your own trick or treat bag to fill with candy and other treats!
