HALLOWEEN EVENTS 2024 (VERIFIED POST HELENE)
HALLOWEEN HASN’T BEEN CANCELLED!
We’ve all been through so much of late, but now more than ever it seems so important to provide a sense of normalcy and innocence for our kids. There are many churches, businesses, and organizations hosting Halloween events for kids in the Asheville area, to give them an opportunity to dress up in a costume, play some games, bob for apples, win some prizes, and get some candy, and bask in a bit of respite from the current situation we’re in. Although many from our original list have had to be cancelled or postponed, we’ve been able to find many that are still happening, and created this new list of them all for you to choose from below!
AND! If there is an event that you know about that we’re missing (PLEASE verify by checking the list first!), reach out to us in the comments of our Facebook or Instagram post or via private email on our social pages, and we’ll get it added!
