Halloween at Lake Lorraine Saturday, Oct. 21

Trick-or-treat with characters, photos along the Lake Walk and more are all part of the fun for the 2023 Halloween at Lake Lorraine celebration on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 1-3 p.m.! This is the sixth year the westside development has organized a FREE, family-friendly community Halloween event.

Everything takes place on the Lake Walk on the west side of Lake Lorraine. Park in the Carsforsale.com parking lot and then head to the north to enter the Lake Walk path.

What you’ll see:

  • Fun characters and mascots to interact with

  • Candy stations and other goodies from Lake Lorraine businesses and community businesses/organizations

  • Photo opportunities along the way

  • Costume Paddle and rentals from Flow and Paddle from noon-4 p.m. on the lake

Trick-or-treating ends near the south end of the Carsforsale.com parking lot, so there’s no busy streets to cross and the pathway is perfect for strollers and wagons. Be sure to come in costume and bring a treat bag to hold your goodies! Note that it is slightly cooler closer to the water so dress accordingly.
