Some free, community Halloween fun, this year’s Haunted Happenings will be three sessions, and include some outdoor trick-or-treating, too. Costumes, as always, are encouraged.
The five Ws
- Who: All are welcome, but this event is intended for preschool and grade school children. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
- What: Trick-or-treat the trail, make your way through spooky scenes and a maze, take your picture in front of a haunted backdrop and receive a bag of treats!
- Where: Start at the North Liberty Recreation Trail north of Cherry Street
- When: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 27, 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 28
- Why: Celebrate Halloween as a community
Kids will start with some trick-or-treating with local businesses, local organizations and city departments, down the North Liberty Recreation Trail before heading into the Gerdin Conference Center for a spooky maze and a not-so-haunted house. Costumes are encouraged, treats will be plentiful and photo ops abound.
Who will be there
City departments, area businesses and local non-profits, including the fun-loving North Liberty Optimists, all in their spooky best!
