Halloween

Kids and families are invited to Appleton Farm's for some fun pumpkin carving! Want to carve your very own pumpkin, or three? Join us to help us get our pumpkins ready for the Appleton Farms Barnyard Trick or Treat! Families are welcome to bring snacks or BYOB to enjoy while carving. All pumpkins have to stay on the farm for the trail, but if you help carve a few we encourage you to come walk the trail for FREE to see if you can find your own creation along the way!

The City of Gloucester, Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken and Friends are hosting a Halloween Festival at Gloucester City Hall.  Families and kids are invited for children's activities including: hayrides, a haunted house, face painting, jewelry making, storytelling, food and FUN!

Boo at the Stone Zoo features Halloween themed crafts and games, along with a haunted maze. Visitors to the Zoo will also have the chance to learn about enrichment as many of the animals receive pumpkins!

Children throughout New England are invited to trick-or-treat among the animals. Thrills, chills and animals lurk around every corner on the Trick-or-Treat Trail! Throughout the day, guests will learn about the importance of enrichment, as they watch as many of the animals receive pumpkins.

Pumpkin Fest was rained out, but there was still a chance to carve pumpkins! All carved  pumpkins will be put on display at Weaver Pond in Patton Park for all to see. Come check out the spooky, the silly and the creative ways that friends and neighbors carved their Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns.
