Enter if you dare! Beware of the spiders snare! Step on the path where the cackle of witches floats on the air.

The inspiration for this event…
Remember “Christmas Lanes” and how families would hop in the car and drive around to see how people decorated their homes for the holidays? In recent years, we’ve noticed a surge of cool Halloween-themed decorated homes. We created the Haunted House Decorating Contest in 2020. We wanted to promote a fun, safe way for families to celebrate Halloween — and to showcase those decorated homes!
A reminder — if you need to stock up on some great Halloween decor, we know a few stores you might want to check out!
