The annual Halloween tradition returns in Bangor for the 22nd year!

Fall starts this weekend, and that means crisp days and nights, the leaves changing colors, and of course the planning of fun Halloween themed events all over Eastern Maine.

On Sunday, October 20th, from 11am-5pm, UCP of Maine's 22nd Annual "Pumpkins in the Park", will be held at the Anah Shrine, which is located at 1404 Broadway in Bangor

This is an indoor community Halloween event for the entire family. This year’s theme is Wild Adventure.

Attendees are encouraged to come in their Halloween costumes.

Enjoy warm and safe trick-or-treating, at all of the business-sponsored pumpkin patches, with hundreds of glowing jack o’lanterns.

Along with trick-or-treating, the event features face painting, prizes, a bounce house, concessions, and much more!
