While this Halloween is expected to depart from the traditional in many ways, there are still plenty of activities to enjoy.
On October 23, you can visit Tamarac’s Drive-Through Halloween Haunt (WHITNEY PLEASE PUT LIVE LINK HERE! Should have been published 10/9/20).
On Halloween (which, of course, falls on a Saturday this year), participate in the City’s Trick or Treat Story Walk. During the Story Walk, you can “stroll through the park and enjoy a free interactive reading of ‘Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away’ along with a free book and candy bag (while supplies last).”
