New this year, the event will feature a DJ Dance Party for families and a brand-new event layout to allow free-range trick-or-treating. The new layout will have community booths spread out around the circular parking lot and down the Wooded Path, with lots of trick-or-treating, fun activities, and spooktacular photo ops along the way. Upon entering, guests can explore at their own pace and will not be required to fall into line.
