The fun takes place Tuesday, Oct. 24 through Sunday, Oct. 29 in Gazebo Park, 5798 Broad St., in the Historic Downtown Greendale Village.

Attendees will receive a free pumpkin to carve and display through Halloween. Gift of Wings will illuminate the hundreds of pumpkins nightly.

Other activities include pumpkin bowling and gourd golf along with a parade, costume contest, live music, food, drink and lots of spooky kites and spinners flying in and around the gazebo.

On Sunday, Oct. 29 the parade will start around 3 p.m. followed by a costume contest at 3:45 p.m. Participants will receive free candy.

Throughout the celebration, The Gift of Wings Grill will serve brats, hot dogs, hot chocolate, ice cream and apple cider mini donuts.
