Halloween Hikes Wrap Up This Weekend in Roswell

ROSWELL, GA -- You have two more days to take part in a beloved family tradition that's been happening in Roswell for the last 31 years.

The final weekend of the 31st annual Halloween Hikes will be held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.

The family-friendly event allows residents to enjoy the outdoors and smell the fragrant woody scents of colorful autumn leaves crunching under your feet as you hike the lighted woodland trails.

Tour guides will introduce participants to friendly costumed forest characters that tell fascinating tales with generous dashes of humor and wit. Warm up by the bonfire and listen to the lively rhythms of our world music drummer afterwards with a hot cocoa or S'mores.

Kids who come in costumes receive a special treat. Children and adults alike will also be able to create Halloween-themed crafts, get their faces painted with a Halloween design and enjoy music near the bonfire.

While no pre-registration is needed, Chattahoochee Nature Center members can purchase their tickets in advance. Tickets are $10 each and children 2 and under are free.

Ticket sales begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. Hikes begin at 7 p.m. and run throughout the night. The Chattahoochee Nature Center is located at 9135 Willeo Road.
