Lafreniere Park

La Fundación Cervantes, organizadora de Que Pasa Fest, ha tomado la difícil decisión de cancelar el festival de este año debido a la tormenta Isaias que se aproxima por el Golfo.

La tormenta afectará el montaje, la producción y, lo más importante, la seguridad de nuestros vendedores, artistas, personal, voluntarios y asistentes.

Estamos muy tristes, pero la seguridad es nuestra prioridad.

Agradecemos sinceramente su comprensión, apoyo y compromiso con Que Pasa Fest. Esperamos poder celebrar la cultura hispana con todos ustedes muy pronto.

🎃 Calling All Trunks! Lafreniere Park Trunk or Treat is Back! 👻🍬

Lafreniere Park and the Dawnbusters Kiwanis are getting ready for another fun-filled Trunk or Treat, and we’re looking for businesses, organizations, groups, and individuals to help make this year’s event extra special!

📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026
⏰ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Lafreniere Park – South Mall Parking Lot

🚗 Want to decorate a trunk and join the fun?
We are now accepting registrations for participating trunks! Get creative, decorate your vehicle in a fun, family-friendly Halloween theme, and help us provide a great evening of treats and community fun for local families.

🍭 Participating trunks should plan to provide candy or treats for approximately 1,000 children. Decorations should be appropriate for children—festive and fun, but nothing overly scary or risqué.
