Jeffersonville is the place to be on Halloween! Starting at 4 p.m. Join us for a Wicked Good Time! Start by making your way to “The Backyard Park” (21 Lovett Lane) for Haunted Houses, a fire pit poke and joke, show off your costume at the Double, double, toil and trouble Halloween Selfie Stage. Then travel down Lovett Lane to the Walk Bridge and go Trick or Treating throughout the Village, follow the luminaries to trick or treating and wander the wild woods seeking treats, but beware of the trick(sters). Roam Main Street taking in the decorations and treats offered throughout and, of course, do not leave out Trunk or Treating in Hughson Park (opposite Dollar General)! Most importantly, save your feet, have a seat, and ride the haunted Hayride to get from place to place (watch for “park here” signs on Main St. to access the Hayride). Lots of family fun!
