Usher in Halloween with this new family event, Sat., Oct. 29

Celebrate the spirit of the season at downtown's new Halloween-themed event, the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee presented by WaterStone Bank, on Saturday, October 29, from 10 AM - 2 PM at Red Arrow Park. Ideal for kids ages 2 - 8 and their parents, this pumpkin palooza offers a safe environment to celebrate Halloween, complete with tons of free pumpkins, handfuls of free goodies, and oodles of activities for everyone! 

Starting at 10 AM, the first 500 guests have the opportunity to pick out a free pumpkin from downtown's only pumpkin patch, sponsored by Metro Market and Pick 'n Save. Arrive early, as our pumpkins are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Plus, enjoy meet & greets with beloved animated movie characters alongside everyday heroes from the Milwaukee Fire Department and Milwaukee Police Department. Face painting, bubble playtime, storytime, MFD's Mobile Survive Alive House, and a book sale from the Friends of the Milwaukee Public Library will round out an afternoon of quality family time. 

Costumes are encouraged for everyone, but please keep them family-friendly. Costumes may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable, or violent.
