It’s almost Halloween, and with the big day falling in the middle of the week next week, many festivities are happening in the upcoming weekend, and some have already begun.
Ghosts, Zombies, Power Rangers, Harry Potter Characters, Witches, Superheroes, and other tricksters. Your time to shine is upon us.
We’ve compiled a list of all the Halloween-related events we could find in Fayetteville for both children/families and for adults.
Also while you’re in the Halloween spirit, you can check out our annual list of Pumpkin Patches we posted earlier this month.
We’ll certainly add to this list between now and Halloween, and feel free to add anything we’ve missed in the comments.
Have a happy and safe Halloween, everyone.
