Halloween is coming up and the City of Apache Junction Parks and Recreation wants to make your night spook-ta-cular! We will be hosting our annual Halloween Festival from 4:00-8:00pm on Saturday, October 28th. The event will take place at the Superstition Shadows Park. This event is free to the community and is offered as a safe alternative to the traditional neighborhood trick or treating.

There will be lots of activities throughout the night for the whole family including a costume contest, pumpkin carving contest, bounce houses, kid's games, trunk or treat and much more!

Our Annual Costume Contest will begin at 5pm sharp and will be divided by age groups. All ages are welcome to enter. Remember to use your imagination and be creative!

Do you or your family like to carve pumpkins for Halloween? If so, bring your pre-carved pumpkin out to the park and enter our Pumpkin Carving Contest! We will judge pumpkins in four categories: Funniest, Scariest, Best Overall, and Most Original! All pumpkins must be submitted to the judging table by 6pm to be eligible to win.

Back by popular demand is the Howl-o-ween Canine Costume Contest. All canines must be on a leash and have a completed entry form. This contest will begin after the conclusion of the human costume contest. Judging will be based on the following categories: Cutest Canine, Funniest Canine, Most Original Canine, and Best Group (owner & canine).

Local non-profit organizations will be onsite selling food and playing games with the kids. Food and games will be available for a small fee and all money raised goes directly to the non-profit organization. This is a great way to let your kids have fun and support our community at the same time.
