“Eat, Drink & Be Scary” returns to Willard Park on Friday, October 13, 2023. This year, they’re bringing you an enchanting array of activities and delights that promise to make this Halloween unforgettable.
The festivities kick off at 4:00 PM with a Trick-or-Treating tour inside historic Willard Public Library. Little goblins and ghouls of all ages can explore each department, collecting goodies along the way. At 5:00 PM, visitors are in for a treat as local food trucks Stuft, Hot Diggity Dog and Sugar Momma’s roll in to serve up mouthwatering culinary delights that will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. For adults, Haynie’s Corner Brewing Co. will be serving ice-cold beverages starting at 6:00 PM. Meanwhile, children can enjoy an array of games and activities in Willard Park while registering for the costume contest. As the sun sets at 6:45 PM, guests can prepare to be thrilled as we screen the timeless classic, “Ghostbusters” (1984), on the big screen in Willard Park. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets to gather with friends and family to relive the iconic ghost-hunting adventures!

We invite everyone in the community to join us for this enchanting Halloween celebration. Trick-or-treating, costume contest, activities and movie are FREE and open to the public.
