In the charming town of Sebastian, October transforms into a month-long celebration of Halloween that promises fun for all ages. Family-friendly festivities abound, starting with a spine-tingling haunted house that will give the right amount of chills without being too scary for the little ones.
Creativity takes center stage with pumpkin carving and scarecrow building, where families can fashion their unique designs and displays. The perennial favorite costume contest brings out a delightful mix of the spooky, quirky, and downright adorable. But that’s not all; the haunted barn promises eerie adventures, while the Boo Bash guarantees an evening of dance and laughter.
The Fall Festival provides a wholesome blend of autumnal activities, and the month wraps up with the much-anticipated truck-or-treat event, a modern twist on the age-old trick-or-treating tradition. With such a packed schedule, October in Sebastian ensures cherished Halloween memories for every family member.
