Head to Vadnais Heights for their free Scarecrow Trail and Halloween Party. Both are free and open to the public!

Vadnais Heights typically hosts an indoor Halloween party each year, but this year they’re taking the festivities outside with a Scarecrow Trail and Halloween Party with a costume parade!

First up is the Scarecrow Trail. You can walk through Community Park starting Thursday, October 24 – Friday November 1, 2024 and see all the scarecrows built by local businesses, organizations, and residents. Park hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset.

A family stands on a grassy field dressed in dinosaur costumes. Two adults wear inflatable T. rex outfits, while three children wear smaller dinosaur suits. The sunset and sparse trees are visible in the background.

Then bring your kids to the Halloween Party on Friday, October 25th from 5-7 pm. Put on your favorite costume for a costume parade through the Scarecrow Trail! Vote for your favorite entry and get a treat bag. The event is FREE and open to the public, no registration is required.

A spooky skeleton dressed as a sanitation worker stands behind a green, foam-covered trash can marked "Poison." It’s part of the "2023 Scarecrow Trail" and labeled as "People's Choice - City Dept." A "Public Works" sign is above.

I’m loving all of these seasonal events taking place outside! Fingers crossed we don’t get another Halloween snowstorm like waaaaaay back in 1991.

Community Park is located at 641 East County Road F in Vadnais Heights.

This is a walk-through event, but if you’re looking for a drive-thru Halloween event or Trunk or Treat, be sure to check out our HUGE list of Minnesota Trunk or Treat and Drive-Thru Halloween Events!
