October 2022

Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022

4 to 8 p.m.

Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park, 87th Street Parkway & Lackman Road, Lenexa, KS 66215

In case of inclement weather, this event will not be rescheduled.

• Free admission
• Free parking available at Indian Trails Aquatic Center (enter park at 87th Street Parkway and Greenway Lane) and Foundry Church

For one night only, Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park is transformed into The Enchanted Forest, where there is something to delight even the smallest of Halloween revelers.

You can enjoy performances by puppets, musicians and singers along the trail around Rose’s Pond and fun photos in the photo booth. Stroll the seasonal displays, visit friendly characters and enjoy performances at your leisure.

The Enchanted Forest is primarily an entertainment event — not a trick-or-treating event. However, there will be a limited supply of candy in the sponsor area, thanks to their generosity.

Wearing a Halloween costume is optional.
