Halloween Events in O'Fallon for the Young and the Young at Heart

O'Fallon Parks Department offers a Halloween scavenger hunt for the grown-ups and a pumpkin picnic and hayride for the kids.

The weekend of October 19-20 is going to offer lots of Halloween fun in O'Fallon.

The whole family is invited to register for the Pumpkin Picnic, which will be held from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 19 in Fort Zumwalt Park. 

Kids, especially, love to dress up in their favorite costume and pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, go on a hayride, listen to spooky storytelling and munch on a hotdog and other treats. The cost is $10 per person for O’Fallon residents and $12 for non-residents.
