The Massachusetts Cultural Council has provided the Marion Council on Aging with a $2,500 grant to help make this event possible.
Pumpkins, carving stations, and tea lights will be provided.
Event attendees can enjoy the petting zoo, music, yard games, face painting, balloon animals, and cotton candy. New this year, Wags Animal Rescue will be holding a pet adoption event and parade at 2 p.m. Registration for the pet parade is required in advance by calling the Council on Aging at 508-748-3570.

All ages are welcome and those who attend are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes. Goodie bags will be given out to all guests.
Community members are encouraged to bring their dogs, but they must be vaccinated, leashed, well-behaved, and friendly. Dogs wearing a costume will get a surprise and be entered to win a doggie bag.
