“We love hosting events that bring our community together, and this one has quickly become a favorite,” HPD Chief Kirk Giles said. “Our officers look forward to greeting kids, handing out candy and building connections with the community in a safe and fun environment.”

Attendees can enjoy an evening of family-friendly fun, featuring:

  • Trick or treat
  • Bounce houses
  • Family-friendly entertainment and carnival games
  • Food trucks
  • Haunted House (opens at 5 p.m.)

Parks and Recreation Director James Gossett said the Halloween Party has grown into one of the city’s most anticipated events.

Costumes are encouraged but not required.

Local vendors and nonprofit organizations will also be on site with candy booths, adding to the festive atmosphere.
