• Additional Event Info

  Additional Event Info:

  👻 Check-in for the event will be upfront at the community center. All participants should check in to get access to special fun stuff. If you park in the field off of Modest, head to the front to check in. See "Event Parking Options" for more info.
  👻 All games and activities are geared toward children. Parents of older kiddos are asked to help us keep it fun for all - especially the little ones.
  👻 We recommend you bring your own bag or pumpkin to collect Halloween goodies.
  👻 City of Lakeland vendors will be onsite sharing their, not so spooky, tips for keeping Lakeland clean and beautiful.
  👻 All costumes should be appropriate for all ages.
