2018 Lillington Halloween Festival
The town of Lillington is once again hosting their annual Halloween Festival, with fun and games for all ages.

Concessions will also be available, just bring your own blanket and chairs to get cozy!

Fuquay-Varina Haunted Trail
If you’re looking for something a little spookier, check out the Haunted Trail in Fuquay-Varina on October 20th! The first two hours of the trail will be full of family-friendly scares while the sun is still out, the the last two hours will turn the scare factor up to eleven as it starts to get dark. The trail is free (woohoo!) for all ages, and anyone and everyone can attend — as long as they’re okay with getting a little spooked. Make sure to wear tennis shoes or other appropriate footwear to the event, and feel free to bring a flashlight!

The FVDA sponsors a few fun fall events this season that are open to all ages. On October 26th, head downtown for the Trick-or-Treat event, where all residents are invited to put on their best costumes and grab candy and treats from participating vendors. The event is totally free and totally fun, so bring down all the little ghosts and ghouls for a good time!
Next month the FVDA is also hosting the BBQ, Blues, & Brews event, a fundraiser for the organization filled with the best BBQ, local beer, and smooth tunes. Grab a tasting ticket and sample all of the BBQ to your heart’s content!
Triangle Oktoberfest
On October19th-20th, head up to nearby Cary for the 5th Annual Triangle Oktoberfest and enjoy traditional German and Bavarian food, authentic beers, and tons of activities.
