Halloween is almost here and the City of Carlsbad is celebrating with a wide variety of thrilling Halloween events all month. So mark your calendars and join in on the fun!   

Halloween costume repair, Oct. 26 at Carlsbad Cole Library 

We've become too accustomed to the throw-away lifestyle. If something breaks, we toss it out and buy a new one. Why not learn how to fix things instead? During this October 26st event, we’re hosting several booths and workshops on reuse, repair, and recycling with a Halloween theme, including a DIY craft table, costume repairs and a swap section. Event runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Register online.

Spooktacular Lunch Activities, Oct. 28 at Senior Center  

Join us on Oct. 28 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Senior Center for Halloween-themed lunch. Get into the Halloween spirit with themed activities including Halloween Trivia, Spooky Bingo, a Costume Walk & Contest, and more. Join us in your favorite costume for a chance to win prizes and enjoy some festive fun before lunch is served. No registration required.
