Saturday, Oct. 24
Trick or Treat with the Farm Animals
1–3 p.m. · Kelsey Creek Farm, 410 130th Pl SE
Staff, visitors and the farm animals all come in costume, and kids trick-or-treat around the barnyard. It is mostly outdoors, so dress for the weather. This one is ticketed: $30 for residents and $36 for non-residents. The City strongly encourages registering ahead; day-of registration is available only as space allows. No pets in the barnyard.

Planning the weekend
- The farm event, the Día celebration and the Crossroads Fall Festival all overlap on Saturday afternoon. Pick one as the anchor and leave time to move between venues.
- The Día celebration runs longest, noon to 4 p.m., so it is the easiest to fit around the others. It and the Fall Festival are both in the Crossroads area.
- Register ahead for the farm event. Do not assume the other events are free; the organizers' pages are the authority on admission.
- Sunday is quieter: the Symphony in the afternoon, or music at Crossroads around midday.
