Rainbow Fleet will host an outdoor trick-or-treat event for families from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 20, at 1105 NW 45th Street. Costumed ghosts and goblins will be welcome, with candy and seasonal activities for all.

“We look forward to seeing our friends, neighbors and community supporters for cute and spooky Halloween fun,” said Rainbow Fleet Executive Director Carri Hicks. “Enjoy autumn weather in our garden, and find out more about community services for parents and child care providers during an evening of fall carnival festivities. Come trick or treat at Rainbow Fleet!”

A pumpkin patch, therapeutic petting zoo, inflatables, games, door prizes and packaged treats will be available at the outdoor come-and-go-event with more than 60 community organizations in attendance. No RSVP is required and admission is free. The festival will take place rain or shine. Activities will move indoors in the event of inclement weather.

Rainbow Fleet occupies the former Horace Mann Elementary School building; an urban renewal project repurposed its facilities for use as the Rainbow Fleet Early Childhood Center and Rainbow Fleet Child Care Resource and Referral.
