Greenwood’s Parks & Recreation Department will host the city’s annual Halloween trick-or-treat event, Monster Mash, at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 20 and the Halloween Parade in downtown Greenwood Saturday, Oct. 28 at 5 p.m.
“I always look forward to the holiday festivities that start in the second half of the year and our Halloween events provide a strong start to the fall season,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “I am proud of the Parks and Recreation Department for bringing families together while establishing a safe environment for all attendees and these events are a strong example of that commitment.”
Monster Mash, located in Craig Park, will take place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Costumed attendees will trick-or-treat and visit approximately 25 vendors, enjoy hayrides, music and more.
