Halloween Week in Hunt County: Where to Go, What to Do & How to Celebrate Local
Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, and Hunt County seems determined to make the most of it.
From dancing and celebrating with local first responders during the week to pumpkin patches, downtown festivals, trunk-or-treats, shopping, live music and even a true-crime speakeasy, there is a little bit of everything happening close to home.
So instead of one last Local Legend for October, I thought we would end the month by celebrating something else that makes our area special: all the places we have to gather.
Here is your guide to Halloween week around Hunt County.
Wednesday, October 28
Caddo Mills First Responders Trunk or Treat
6:00–7:30 PM
Frankie Junes Bar and Grill
3079 Highway 66, Caddo Mills
Free
Halloween starts a little early in Caddo Mills when the Caddo Mills Police, Fire and EMS departments gather at Frankie Junes for a community Trunk or Treat.
Bring the kids and their candy bags for an evening with some of the people who serve the Caddo Mills community all year long.
Monster Mash with Sweatin’ with Shay at Fox Nutrition
6:00 PM
2317 Hwy 66, Caddo Mills
$5 per class or a purchase from the bar
All fitness levels welcome
If your Wednesday night plans call for more dancing than candy collecting, Shay of Sweatin’ with Shay is hosting a Halloween-themed Monster Mash workout at Fox Nutrition in Caddo Mills. Costumes are not required, but they are highly encouraged.
Come for the sips, stay for the spooky sweat.
Thursday, October 29
14th Annual Zumbaween with Zumba with Naomi
7:15 PM
Greenville SportsPark Center
6705 Monty Stratton Pkwy., Greenville
Ages 16+
$5 for nonmembers | $8 for non-Greenville residents
Not every Halloween activity needs a candy bucket.
Naomi Swanson of Zumba with Naomi is celebrating the 14th Annual Zumbaween, and longtime Local Letter readers may recognize Naomi from our August visit with Embody Wellness & Fitness.
This year Zumbaween is moving inside the gym at Greenville’s new SportsPark Center, which means more room to join in. Costumes are encouraged, the Halloween playlist will be ready, and yes, there will even be candy for those who want it.
It is a fun option for teens 16 and older and adults looking for a Halloween activity that involves a little more moving and a little less trick-or-treating.
Halloween Saturday: October 31
If you want to make an entire day of Halloween this year, you absolutely can.
Start the Day in Greenville
Britain Chevrolet Trunk or Treat
11:00 AM–3:00 PM
Britain Chevrolet
4495 I-30, Greenville
Britain Chevrolet is getting Halloween started during the daytime with candy-filled trunks and mini pumpkin decorating for the kids.
It is an easy early stop before heading to one of the afternoon or evening events happening around the county.
Spend the Day in Downtown Caddo Mills
Caddo Mills Annual Fall Stroll: Monster of a Mash Up
Downtown Caddo Mills
Caddo Mills is making an entire day of Halloween this year.
The annual Fall Stroll returns with the theme Monster of a Mash Up, bringing Halloween-themed vendors, food and treats, games, activities and shopping throughout downtown.
And if you read our recent Local Legend feature on Amy Goodman Houser, this is another chance to see exactly what that story was about. Amy will be right in the middle of the Chamber events again, helping bring another big day together in Caddo Mills.
11:00 AM–2:00 PM | Monster Mash Car Show
The car show kicks things off with no entry fee.
12:00–7:00 PM | Fall Stroll
Shop the vendors, grab something to eat and explore the Halloween activities throughout downtown, including Creepy Crawl.
Best Pet Costume Contest at 2:15 PM
Halloween Yard Contest winner announced at 3:45 PM
5:00 PM | Trunk or Treat
Stick around as the candy comes out and Trunk or Treat begins.
Come for the cars, stay to shop, grab something to eat and spend Halloween with the Caddo Mills community.
Another Early Greenville Stop
Wesley United Methodist Church Trunk or Treat
2:00–4:00 PM
Wesley United Methodist Church
1200 E. Joe Ramsey Blvd., Greenville
Free
Wesley UMC is opening its parking lot to the community for an afternoon Trunk or Treat with games, snacks and candy.
Everyone is welcome, making this an easy afternoon stop before the evening festivities begin.
Head North for an Entire Evening in Celeste
Celeste Fall Festival, Trunk or Treat & Street Dance
3:00–10:00 PM
Downtown Celeste, N. 2nd Street
Free
Celeste is packing a lot into Halloween.
The Fall Festival begins at 3 PM with vendors, food, arts and crafts, and games for all ages.
At 5 PM, Trunk or Treat begins.
Then at 8 PM, the evening shifts into live music and a street dance featuring the Marcus Lindsey Band.
This is one of those events where you can settle in for the evening: shop, eat, let the kids play and stay for music after dark.
Halloween Boo Bash on the Square in Commerce
5:30–7:30 PM
Downtown Commerce
Downtown Commerce is getting into the Halloween spirit with the Halloween Boo Bash on the Square.
Families can enjoy trick-or-treating, bounce houses and plenty of spooky fun around the square.
The event is presented by the Commerce TX Chamber of Commerce and Carevide, making it another easy way to spend Halloween evening close to home.
Bring the costumes and the candy bags and make a stop in Downtown Commerce.
Halloween on the Square in Greenville
5:00–7:00 PM
Downtown Greenville
Free | Rain or shine
Halloween on the Square remains one of Greenville’s biggest Halloween traditions.
Families can trick-or-treat around the square, visit participating businesses and community organizations, enter the costume contest, enjoy Halloween music from the DJ and stop for photos along the way.
Terry Driggers, who we featured earlier this month as one of Hunt County’s Local Legends, is sponsoring this year’s costume contest. If you read Terry’s story, that probably won’t surprise you. Supporting local events and organizations has been part of his story for years.
While you’re downtown, make an evening of it. Grab dinner, coffee or something sweet before or after making your way around the square.
Events like this don’t just give us somewhere to take the kids. They give us another reason to walk into a business we may not have visited before.
Halloween for the Grown-Ups
Serial Killer Speakeasy at The Landmark
October 29–31
The Landmark on Lee Street
2920 Lee Street, Greenville
21+ only
If your idea of Halloween leans more true crime than trick-or-treating, The Landmark has something completely different happening this week.
The Serial Killer Speakeasy is a 90-minute immersive experience pairing four true-crime stories with four themed cocktails.
The evening explores Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy and Ed Gein, with a cocktail created around each story. Mocktails are also available by request.
The experience is for guests 21 and older, and current tickets begin at $55.
Still Need a Pumpkin?
Kadee Farm
5054 Highway 69 South, Greenville
Saturday: 10:00 AM–7:00 PM
There is something about Halloween weekend that makes you suddenly realize you never bought the pumpkin.
Kadee Farm has been part of the Greenville area’s fall traditions for years. The family-owned farm began its annual Pumpkin Festival in 2001 and continues to turn the property into a fall destination each year.
Families can find pumpkins, farm animals, hayrides, outdoor activities and plenty of places for those last fall photos.
Admission is $10 per person, with children ages 3 and under free.
If you haven’t made it to a pumpkin patch yet this season, Halloween weekend is a pretty good excuse.
Pick Your Halloween
One of the things I like most about this list is that there isn’t really one way to do Halloween in Hunt County this year.
You can spend the week with a few familiar faces we’ve met through The Local Letter, find Amy helping make another Caddo Mills event happen, or see Terry’s name attached to another Greenville tradition.
You can spend Saturday afternoon shopping from area vendors, decorate a pumpkin, take little ones to a Trunk or Treat, fill a candy bag downtown, listen to live music, dance your way through a Halloween workout or spend an evening immersed in true crime.
And somewhere in between all of that, grab lunch from a local restaurant, stop for coffee, browse a vendor booth or walk into a downtown shop you’ve been meaning to visit.
The people, businesses and organizations behind these events are our neighbors. They are giving their time, opening their doors and creating the places where our communities get to come together. This week is a good opportunity to show them some support and appreciation for what they continue to do for Hunt County.
And after spending October meeting a few of our Local Legends, I keep coming back to one thought:
These are exactly the kinds of places where local legends are made.
There are probably people in these crowds, behind these booths and helping with these events whose stories we haven’t heard yet.
We just haven’t met them.
Happy Halloween, Hunt County.
