This Saturday, Johnson City is bringing back the chills with its Super Spooky Halloween festival at Freedom Hall Civic Center. Ghosts and goblins of all ages are invited to dive into the world of games, candy, and crafts in what promises to be a delightfully eerie evening. According to a statement released by the City of Johnson City's official website, the festival will include a pumpkin patch and a popular costume contest that has become a staple of the event. The festivities begin at 4 p.m. and will continue until 7 p.m., setting the stage for a spirited community gathering.
"Halloween season is here and we can’t wait for Super Spooky this Saturday," said David Compton, Community Engagement Specialist for the city, according to the City of Johnson's official website. He highlighted the collective spirit of the event, with local businesses and organizations coming together to distribute candy. Moreover, he noted that the “costume contest is always a big hit, and the haunted trail is a perfect way to end the night,” according to the City of Johnson’s official website. The haunted trail, to be located inside Freedom Hall, adds a dose of fright to the night's celebrations for those who dare, and will stay open until 8 p.m. The fee for this spine-tingling experience is $4 per person.
For families looking to participate, there's reassuring news: the event's admission is free, with a variety of activities designed to cater to all members of the family. The Super Spooky Halloween festival takes place in the parking lot next to the pool, and on the adjacent practice fields, offering plenty of room for the expected crowd of little monsters and their guardians.
Johnson City Parks and Recreation continues to strive to bring enjoyable experiences to the community while emphasizing the importance of family-friendly activities.
