🎃👻 WHAT A SPOOKTACULAR NIGHT, EAST PIKELAND! 👻🎃

The 2026 Halloween Moonwalk was one for the books! With well over 1,000 attendees, the French Creek Trail was filled with Halloween spirit, amazing costumes, spooky surprises, and plenty of community fun!

From the spooky covered bridge to the incredible decorations along the trail, there was something around every corner to delight our little ghosts and goblins.

We loved seeing all the creative costumes, smiling faces, and families making memories together!

Apple c***r, s’mores, snacks, and more kept everyone fueled for their adventure, and we were thrilled to feature carved pumpkins generously donated by local businesses and community members. Thank you to everyone who contributed their creativity and helped make the trail so festive!

This event would not be possible without our incredible community! A HUGE thank-you to:

🎃 The East Pikeland Township Park & Recreation Board for the countless hours of planning, decorating, organizing, and bringing this beloved community tradition to life.

🚧 Our Public Works Department for their hard work preparing the park, helping transform the trail, and making sure everything was ready for our visitors.

🚔 Our Police Department for their participation, support, and dedication to helping make the event safe and enjoyable for everyone.

👏 Our sponsors, local businesses, staff, volunteers, and everyone who donated their time, talents, pumpkins, supplies, and resources. Your generosity and teamwork made this incredible evening possible!

And, of course, THANK YOU to the more than 1,000 community members who joined us! Your enthusiasm, laughter, and amazing costumes are what make the Halloween Moonwalk so special year after year.

We are so grateful to be part of a community that comes together to create such memorable experiences for families!
