Set for Saturday, Oct. 25th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Palafox Market Halloween activities will be located at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza on North Palafox St. and at Plaza Ferdinand's Palafox Market South. Children are encouraged to dress in their favorite costume and trick or treat with participating vendors at both parks.
A free Haunted Trolley will board courageous riders from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The route includes the free Commendencia Parking Lot all the way to the free parking on Wright Street, with stops at MLK, Jr. Plaza and Plaza Ferdinand. The first 50 kids who ride will get a special treat!
Activities for the young, and young at heart, include:
