Parktober! Halloween Fun Awaits At Wilson Park in October

If you’re looking for a way to make the most of MEA weekend with the kids, here’s one you won’t want to miss. On Friday, October 17th, from 4 pm to 7 p.m., Wilson Park in St. Cloud will be transformed into a Halloween wonderland for an afternoon of free family fun. From pumpkin painting and hayrides to games, candy, and even a little magic, this event is sure to be a fun one for the kids.

DRESS UP IN YOUR FAVORITE COSTUME

Everyone is encouraged to come in costume and get ready for an evening packed with fall favorites. One of the main attractions is the pumpkin patch and pumpkin painting station, where kids can pick out a pumpkin and decorate it (while supplies last). There will also be arts and crafts tables for kids, and who doesn't want to take a hayride to enjoy all the fall colors?
