Lighted Halloween Walk!
When the sun sets and the city lampposts light up, make your way down to Lamplighter Park by the river to see our Halloween Walk! Made in-house by our staff, these lighted characters and icons are always a fun sight to see. See dancing skeletons, goblins, ghosts and spiders as you stroll along the path, and take a picture by our larger-than-life lighted Jack-O-Lantern! This display is free and open for all to enjoy.
The lights are on display from mid-October through October 31.
Trick-or-Treating Official Hours:
The city’s official Trick-or-Treat hours are set for October 31 from 6-8 PM. To ensure a fun and safe evening, make sure children are easily visible with reflective clothing or glow sticks, and always stay on sidewalks or well-lit areas. For drivers, please be extra cautious and watch for little ghosts and goblins crossing the streets. Parents, remember to check all candy before letting your kids enjoy it. Happy Halloween!
