Join in the Halloween festivities this year! There are plenty of creative and accessible crafts and activities to do from home or out in the Highland Park area.
Halloween Is Just Around the Corner
Crafts are a way to celebrate Halloween from home or with friends. Decorate pumpkins, make decorative spider webs, make spiral ghosts, make spooky candles, decorative Halloween garlands. If food is more up your alley, then make a seasonal cider or deviled eggs. An activity to get a group involved is by playing Halloween charades, by sharing scary stories, by making a homemade costume contest, by trick or treating in your neighborhood, or by watching a horror movie marathon. These are just a few ideas to stay involved this holiday season. There will be an official Trick or Treating on October 31 from 3:30-7pm in Highland Park. Just remember to stay on the sidewalk and stay safe by using a flashlight. All are welcome to participate. Make sure to bring your best costume!
