Halloween In Westlake: Trick-or-Treat Time, Other Events To Attend

WESTLAKE, OH — Halloween is only a few weeks away. If carving pumpkins and picking out costumes hasn't already gotten residents in the mood for the spookiest holiday, the city is putting on a series of seasonally-appropriate events. Halloween trick-or-treating will be held Oct. 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The city's Fall Festival and Pumpkin Hunt will be held Oct. 14 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the Westlake Recreation Center grounds. "This family festival for kids ages 9 and younger will include a pumpkin hunt, face painters, hay rides, refreshments and much more! Parents must be present during the event," said a spokesperson for the city. The fall festival is free and open to the public.

There are only a few spots left for the pumpkin hunt and pre-registration is required. Spots are $3 for residents and $4 for non-residents.
