Each fall, the Westmont Park District offers two creepy, spooky and splendid Halloween events for all ghosts and goblins to enjoy!
The Last Straw Fall Event:Early, October
You can make a scarecrow, meet a bee keeper, see an
awesome Raptor/bird of prey program, make rope, participate
in a fun interactive music time, create some cool crafts and play
some fun games. New this year, you can try panning for gold or
minerals (nominal fee). We’ll show you the trick to guarantee a
“find”! The Westmont Garden Club will host a bake sale with
lots of yummy home-made goodies. Tour the museum and
enjoy our scarecrow display along the museum garden fence.
Most activities are free. The Garden Club of Downers Grove
will help you make a great scarecrow for your yard. Fee of $8
includes pillow case for the head, straw, wire, a wood stand, hay
and some materials. Please bring clothes (pants, shirt) and any
unique items you’d like to use to decorate your scarecrow.
Event will be held rain or shine!
Haunted Forest Tour: Saturday, October 20, 2012
Twin Lakes Woods will come alive for one very magical, mystical night Narrators will tell you the story of the haunted woods as they conduct guided tours on hayracks. Don't turn your back, as characters, ghouls and creatures will come alive before your very eyes! We also offer Merry Monsters Matinee performances from 5:30pm – 9:30pm for the younger children.

Halloween Fun Fair: Late, October
The Community Center gym on Halloween is home to carnival games, tasty concessions and a live performance! Little monsters can enjoy a Halloween full of fun, laughs, tricks and treats!
Halloween Dance: Wednesday , October 31, 2012
Halloween is a holiday celebrated by activities such as trick-or-treating, costumes, ghost stories and jack-o-lanterns. Now we can add dancing and fun to that list of activities. Come to the Westmont Community Center on Halloween with your friends and show off your costume and dance moves. We will be having a costume contest for best dressed and most creative for the chance to win prizes. There is no better way to celebrate Halloween than with a dance, fun and prizes.
