Every year, Highlands Sports Complex transforms into a festive hub of Halloween fun during its highly anticipated Spooktacular Halloween event. A favorite among families throughout the Ohio Valley, this celebration brings together the community for an unforgettable day of treats, costumes, and games—all while supporting a great cause. Whether you’re a returning participant or a newcomer, Spooktacular Halloween promises to offer a memorable experience for everyone.
A Community Event with a Cause
One of the standout features of Spooktacular Halloween is its commitment to giving back. Partnering with the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley, the event donates all proceeds to support local nonprofit organizations. These funds help improve the lives of those in the community by addressing critical needs and supporting initiatives that foster stronger, healthier neighborhoods.
Each year, vendors from across the Ohio Valley join the fun, creating themed booths to hand out candy and treats. Local businesses and residents come together to offer support, making Spooktacular Halloween not only a fun-filled event but also a meaningful fundraiser that strengthens our community.
Activities for All Ages
There’s no shortage of entertainment at Spooktacular Halloween. Families can enjoy an array of activities, from games and inflatables to festive food and music. Children are treated to arcade credits and access to the expansive court area, while vendors keep the candy flowing with their themed booths, offering safe and exciting trick-or-treating for all ages.
The atmosphere is lively, with music and laughter filling the air as families explore the many activities set up throughout the complex. This event provides a safe, welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy Halloween fun, regardless of age.
The Costume Contest: A Highlight of the Day
One of the most beloved features of Spooktacular Halloween is the annual costume contest. Participants show off their creativity with costumes that range from the spookiest to the most hilarious. Prizes are awarded in various categories, including scariest, cutest, funniest, and most creative, ensuring everyone has a chance to take home a prize.
Bringing the Community Together
At its heart, Spooktacular Halloween is about community. It’s an event that unites local businesses, families, and residents in celebration of the season while also supporting the important work of the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley. The partnership between Highlands Sports Complex and the United Way ensures that this annual event has a lasting, positive impact on the community.
