HALLOWEEN FUN FOR EVERYONE

Halloweenapalooza has become known for providing entertainment through its annual zombie walk, costume contest, and film festival which has received international recognition, and more. Not only are out-of-towners enthusiastically boosting the local economy, but locals are able to spotlight their talents, arts, and businesses by becoming a vendor at Halloweenapalooza. With horror film celebrities at Halloweenapalooza and our live music in the evening, we are thoroughly encouraged by the yearly growth of this event and continue to expand on our previous success.
