Enjoy Halloween costume parades and Halloween scavenger hunts on October 30 and 31 at Eckert Farms in Belleville.
Scavenger hunts will be held both days between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Clues will guide visitors throughout the farm, and prizes will be awarded at the end. Costumes are welcomed! Cost is $5 per child.
While you're enjoying the scavenger hunt, take part in the costume parades happening at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day. Meet at the white tent near the restaurant parking lot five minutes prior to parade time. Each child will get the chance to walk across the stage as their name and costume is announced. Each participating child will receive a small treat. The costume parades are free.
