Create clever crafts? Import fabulous treasures? Package gourmet treats?  Provide unique services? What would your business showcase?  All businesses are encouraged to participate!

This special event in October is a community favorite, attracting over 3000 children and countless adults – and best of all, it’s FREE, too! The festival offers music, games, and attractions such as hayrides, petting zoo and trick-or-treating through our “haunted forest.” Children and families meander through the park collecting goodies from the businesses which are set up along the way, awaiting the little “ghosts” & “goblins” with treats and surprises.
