Tomorrow night will be a busy night in DeKalb County as communities and organizations throughout the region host a variety of events for children and adults of all ages to celebrate Halloween. The following is a list of just a few of the many options in the area to enjoy the festivities tomorrow night.
Fort Payne:
The City of Fort Payne is hosting their annual Halloween Block Party downtown Saturday night from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Hundreds of children and adults turn out each year to celebrate and trick-or-treat with dozens of local businesses and organizations that set up a line of tables and hand out candy to trick or treaters. Be sure to come out to visit with Southern Torch at Fort Payne’s Block Party. We will have a table right in the middle of the action full of treats for the kids.
The Fort Payne Church of God is hosting a Halloween Blowout from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. with some intensely fun and exciting attractions, including a mechanical bull, a bouncy boxing ring, a trackless train, an obstacle course, a rock wall, and much more. The event is open to the public and all are welcome.
Vintage 1889 is hosting a Halloween-themed evening with musical guest Ed Howard and his zombie band.
Rainsville:
The Rainsville Boo Bash will be held at the Tom Bevill Enrichment Center from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Be sure to come out to visit with Southern Torch at Boo Bash. The Torch will be one of several businesses and organizations taking part in a large-scale Trunk N Treat and passing out candy to trick or treaters. Be sure to come in costume and sign up at the Southern Torch Table to have your photo made and enter our Halloween costume contest.
Rainsville Technology Inc. (RTI) will be hosting a Trunk N Treat at RTI headquarters Halloween night.
Down on the Farm will certainly have a busy night as they invite all to come and and explore their famous Corn Maze, one of the most popular Halloween attractions in North Alabama.
Another great option for trick or treating is to be on the lookout for the many churches in the county that will have their premises open for trunk n treats as well. A reminder to always be careful when out with your children during Halloween. Don’t forget to remind your children of this as well. Have a safe and happy Halloween!
