Start your Halloween, Saturday, 10/31, in historic downtown Bartlett. First up is a costume parade for kids of all ages and pets too, leaving at 10 a.m. from Bartlett Village Hall, 228 S. Main Street. From 10:30 a.m. to 2 pm., various downtown locations will offer special FREE activities: “Monster Mash” dance contest, Wheel of Torture, prizes, music, games and treats.

Don't let the predicted rain stop you from coming to the Halloween Fest! If it is raining at 10 a.m., the parade part of the Halloween Fest will be canceled but the locations will still be open to welcome trick or treaters. If it is rainy, vendors who were to be located in the AT&T park may be moved into the Fire Barn, 218 S. Main.
