As the month of October creeps up on Halloween this year, Grove City will be hosting a wide variety of events in celebration of the spooky holiday season. Families looking to enjoy Halloween-themed events that are child friendly will have plenty of opportunities to do so, most notably at Grove City’s second annual Boo Off Broadway.
Boo Off Broadway is a chance for families and the community to come together for a day of fun on October 29, from noon to 4 p.m. Those in attendance have the opportunity to show off their haunting fashion sense during the costume parade around the park and trick-or-treat in a safe environment. Local proprietors and vendors are able to promote their businesses as well as share in the food, games and festivities. Closely following Boo Off Broadway is Beggar’s Night, a more traditional trick-or-treating experience on October 31 from 6-8 p.m. Those participating in handing out candy should leave their porch light on, while drivers should be aware of a large number of people on and near the streets.
The 2022 Grove City Minion Hunt is still ongoing, and will end on October 31. 10 different Minions in iconic costumes such as Dracula, Mr. Incredible and Mickey are hidden in the Grove City Town Center, and those who are able to find all 10 win a prize!
By the beginning of November, both Fall Fridays and the Food Truck Festival and Shop Hop are coming to an end for the year. Residents have one last chance to attend the Food Truck Festival and Shop Hop on October 28 from 4-9 p.m. which continues to feature popular food trucks and local shops in the town center. Fall Fridays will have two more themed events from 5-8 p.m. at the Grove City Visitor Center. October 21 is the day of Spooktacular Dog Selfies and is hosted by local businesses Izzy & Co and Pinnacle Pets. Everyone is invited to bring along their furry friends for costumes, selfies, and treats. October 28 is the last Fall Friday of the year and is celebrating Día De Los Muertos with 3 Brothers Diner.
