In case of severe weather, the event will be moved inside the Joyner Park Community Center at a limited capacity.

When does Wake Forest recognize Halloween?

Since Halloween is always October 31, that’s the day the Town of Wake Forest encourages families to go door-to-door in costumes for candy and fun - regardless of the day of the week in which it falls.

The Wake Forest Police Department also recommends that little ghosts and goblins trick-or-treat between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m.
