Calling all goblins! The spooktacular outdoor Goblin Gathering family event is back for the 20th year at GT Bray Park.

Event entry and trick-or-treating is free. $5 (cash only) WRISTBANDS are sold for entrance to the hay maze, bounce, slide and crawl over the inflatables and have face painted.

BEAT THE LINES: Wristbands will be on sale at the GT Bray Park front desk, beginning October 7 (no refunds or replacements will be issued). Cash-only at event entrance on event day (October 14).

A costume contest will be held in the following categories: 1 year and under, 2 to 4 years old, 5 to 8 years old, 9 and older and families. Three winners will be chosen for each category. Those interested can sign up at the stage between 5:30 to 6:15 PM. Judging begins at 6:30 PM on stage.
