Better get your costume ready, and stock up your candy bowls, buddies. Halloween is sneaking up on you like a ninja.
The holiday falls on a Sunday this year, so that means we’ll be trick-or-treating on a school night in 2021.
There’s a lot more happening in and around Fayetteville as well.
We’ve complied a list of all the Halloween-related events we could find in and around Fayetteville for both children/families and for adults.
Also while you’re in the Halloween spirit, you can also check out our annual list of Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes we posted earlier this month.
We’ll certainly add to this list between now and Halloween, and feel free to add anything we’ve missed in the comments below.
Have a happy and safe Halloween, everyone.
