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.
