Halloween is almost here, and we’re so excited for our Graceland West Halloween Party happening this Saturday, October 26th, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Warner Park!
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Costume Contest – Show off your Halloween costumes and compete for a fun prize!
Scavenger Hunt – Take part in our first-ever scavenger hunt and see how many spooky decorations you can find around the neighborhood.
Games & Activities – Mummy races, pumpkin decorating, spider maze, pinata, and more!
Create Your Own Candy Apples – Get creative and make a delicious treat!
We can’t wait to see you all on Saturday at Warner Park for a fantastic Halloween celebration. Bring your costumes, your scavenger hunt forms, and plenty of Halloween spirit!
Don’t Trash It, Smash It!
After the Halloween fun is over, don’t forget to save your pumpkins for the Pumpkin Smash happening on Saturday, November 9th from 10 AM to 2 PM at Lake View High School (4015 N Ashland Ave). This is a great way to green your Halloween by composting your pumpkins instead of throwing them in the trash.
How it works: Bring your pumpkins (with all candles, paint, and decorations removed), and they’ll be smashed and composted. It’s a fun, eco-friendly way to dispose of your pumpkins!
Let’s all help keep pumpkins out of landfills and do our part for the environment!
Calling all ghosts and goblins! Our first ever Graceland West Halloween Scavenger Hunt is officially live, and we invite you to join the fun!
Explore the neighborhood and see how many spooky decorations you can find within the area north of Irving Park Ave, south of Montrose Ave, west of Clark St, and east of Ashland Ave. There are 15 decorations to hunt for—how many can you spot?
How it works:
- Download the scavenger hunt form HERE or create a copy on your phone.
- Take a walk through the neighborhood and find as many of the listed decorations as you can.
- Bring your responses to the Graceland West Halloween Party at Warner Park on Saturday, October 26th between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
The participant with the most correct answers will win a prize!
This is a great chance to enjoy the Graceland West Halloween spirit and the beautiful weather, so grab your friends, family, and little ones for a spooky stroll. We can’t wait to see how many of you rise to the challenge!
Happy hunting!
