Halloween Family Fest, Free Event at Darien Arts Center

Families can kick-off their Halloween festivities with the Darien Arts Center’s first-ever Halloween Family Fest on Saturday, October 26th from 9 a.m. to noon. Children of all ages will have fun and get in the spirit of Halloween with crafts, treats, storytelling, sing-alongs and drop-in dance classes at the complementary family-oriented event, where all are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes. Most activities are geared for those ages 3 and up, but children of all ages are welcome.

Activities include pumpkin painting and mask making from 9 a.m. through noon and Halloween sing-alongs from 11 a.m. until noon in the DAC Visual Arts Studio, located near the ball field at the rear of Town Hall. Age-appropriate ‘spooky’ stories will be told from 9:15 to 10:30 a.m. and drop-in dance classes take place from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the DAC Weatherstone Studio. Refreshments include coffee, donuts and Halloween treats for all.
