All are invited to a free, fun-filled family Halloween party on Saturday, October 26 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the George Washington Carver Museum. The 2nd Annual Spooktacular Bash will be open to all ages and offers plenty of games, face painting, a bouncy house, costumes, and even a spooky house exhibit. City partners will also be there to provide helpful resources and activities such as bike lights, reusable bags, wristbands, coloring books, seasonal crafts, and more!

This community-focused family event is hosted by the Austin Code Department with participation from Austin 3-1-1, Development Services Department, City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community Development, Austin Resource Recovery, Austin Fire Department, City of Austin Corridor Program Office, City of Austin Equal Employment/Fair Housing Office, and Carver Branch Library. The inaugural 2018 event drew over 400 residents to learn about city codes through an interactive “spooky house” featuring common code violations. This year, the event aims to reach even more residents and ensure that code education is fun and accessible to all Austinites.

While the event is free, you’re encouraged to RSVP here to help the event organizers get a headcount.
