Saturday: Fall Family Fun That Puts You in the Spirit
The La Grange Business Association (LGBA) will host its annual Halloween Walk & Fall Festival for ghosts and goblins of all sizes on Saturday, Oct. 26 with a full day of fall-themed activities for families in the shops and restaurants of the downtown area.
The traditional Halloween Walk will kick things off from 10AM – 12:00PM as staffers from the Greater La Grange YMCA lead costumed pirates, witches, monsters and their families on a trick-or-treat parade. The walk begins at Cossitt School playground with treats provided by local merchants.
There will be a magic show and pictures with Ronald McDonald from 12:00 – 12:30PM near the fountain located at Village Hall.
