We don’t know if you’ve heard, but scientists found a cure for the Zombie Invasion we’ve been living under for quite a while now. Whew! This year, ZombieWalk is taking a hiatus – stay tuned for updates for 2027 – but we still have plenty of lingering zombies, witches, ghosts, ghouls, costumed heros, and other masked Fayettevillains lingering around. So, though there won’t be an official ZombieWalk this year, we are still going to get spooky in the District!
Join us in the District on Saturday, October 31st from 4-8PM for Trick or Treat and All Ages Costume Contest!
On Halloween, our downtown neighborhood businesses come together to celebrate spooky season with you and your littles, with candy and other fun giveaways from 4-6PM. Don’t just get your candy and go – stick around for the YOUTH COSTUME CONTEST (10-UNDER, 11-17YRS) at 6PM – meet at 222 Hay Street for signup and contest!
At 7PM, it’s time for the big kids to play! For the ADULT COSTUME CONTEST (18+) we want to see your most creative, most realistic, most recognizable spooktacular costumes! Meet at 222 Hay Street for sign up and contest. After which, take your bad Halloween self on a stroll to one of our District bars, restaurants or retail spots for a scarily good cocktail and other Halloween fun!
