The festival is open to the public with a $10 donation to enter. We will be featuring entertainment and activities for the entire family including live music on the Bud Light stage, food trucks, business & art vendors, beer tents supporting Pup Squad Animal Rescue, HZW special FX blood splatter zone, kids costume contest, photo opns and more. For our youngest "ghosts and goblins," the kids zone features FREE entertainment including moonwalks, face painting, arts & crafts, magic show, juggling acts and more!
Children 11 and under may attend the event FREE as long as they are with a parent or guardian that has an event ticket. The festival provides a fun and safe community environment for Houston families to celebrate Halloween!
