Sensory-Friendly Trick-or-Treating at Skeleton Festival
Advertisement
All the music, crowds, and activity that accompany the experience of trick-or-treating downtown, during Skeleton Festival, can be overwhelming or otherwise impossible for some members of our community to navigate. Still, it's important to us that everyone feels welcome at our events, which is why we are excited to announce the return of our low-sensory pre-festival trick-or-treat event at this year's Skeleton Festival on Saturday, October 24!
Neurodivergent children and their caregivers are invited to a Sensory-Friendly Trick-or-Treat Hour, with the businesses in Shops at Agora, on Saturday, October 24 from 12-1pm. During this 1-hour event, trick-or-treaters will follow floor stickers and pick up a new seasonal treat (both candy and toys), at each business, in a calmer, more controlled environment. From 12-1pm, this area will ONLY be open to trick-or-treaters who will benefit from a low-sensory experience.
None of this would be possible without our sponsors Park View Federal Credit Union and Green Valley Book Fair.
These activities are part of Skeleton Festival, Downtown Harrisonburg’s spookiest day of the year! With activities and entertainment for all ages, including trick-or-treating, costume contests, Sip & Stroll, vendor markets, and more!
