Goblin Gathering

Ghostbusters Family

Thank you to everyone who came out to Goblin Gathering on Friday, October 25, 2024, and made it a huge success! Look for details about the 2025 event!

About Goblin Gathering: This spooktacular outdoor event is family friendly and fun for all ages! Local businesses pass out “treats & sweets” to participants, providing a safe alternative for families to trick-or-treat. The rescheduled (due to hurricanes) 2024 event featured bounce houses, face painting, costume contests and petting zoo! Costume contest sign up began after 5 PM  (judging began at 7 PM). 

Food trucks were on site to offer a BITE. Event entry and trick-or-treating is free.
