A Handy List Of Missoula’s Halloween Happenings

Whether you're trickin', treatin', dressing up, or eatin'........Halloween is here in just a few days. Things looked bleak for a while and it seemed like COVID-19 was going to wipe out a lot of planned activities. But we actually ended up with a decent collection of holiday events around Missoula. Here's a handy list of fun stuff you can take part in for Halloween.

FOR THE KIDS

CANDY CRAWL @ SOUTHGATE MALL (10/31)
Goblins and Ghouls, you are invited to join us for a Candy Crawl on Halloween! Come dressed in your best costume and ready to collect all your favorite treats.

*CDC-approved masks required

COVID-19 Precautions: masks required · limited capacity · socially distanced · hand sani stations · contactless trick-or-treating.

ZACC PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
You know you’re probably going to carve a pumpkin this year anyway, so why not try to make it the BEST PUMPKIN EVER? We want to see the most inventive, unique, wild, scary, and totally nuts jack-o-lanterns that Missoula has to offer. Entering your pumpkin in our contest is easy, just snap a photo and fill out this super fast form.

We’ll judge the entries on All Hallow’s Eve eve, and announce the winners that day! Best in Show and three runners-up will receive ZACC certified (totally impressive) ribbons, bragging rights, and their pumpkins featured on our social media. Start stabbin’ them gourds, Missoula!

BOOTOWN CHURCH (ZOOTOWN CHURCH) TRUNK-OR-TREAT (10/31)
We know how hard this season has been on our families, friends, community, and children and we want to do something about it!

If you have little ones please "drive-thru" our parking lot of 20 socially distanced and decorated automobiles!

Candy will be distributed by masked and gloved volunteers who have come together with one purpose, to make your evening with your family extra special, and a little bit easier.

We're currently looking for people who would like to decorate their car, truck, SUV, horse-drawn buggy, etc, and hand out candy to families who attend.

If you would like to get involved but don't want to decorate and park a car, we're looking for help with guide traffic flow and or donations of SEALED party-sized bags of candy to help ease the burden on volunteer automobiles.

We cannot wait to see y'all there!
