Things to do
Time to wake up that one person who is not a fan of September because we are almost at the end. Here's how to get into the Halloween spirit:
- Nights of the Jack: The family friendly Nights Of The Jack Halloween experience is back for its sixth year. Walk through a nearly 1-mile trail of thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, immersive scenes and art installations. Participate in face painting and digital carnival games; watch pumpkin carving or meet a psychic. Food and beverages are available from food trucks and The Spookeasy for adult libations.
Check out our full list of things to do this weekend.
