Halloween festivities are set to light up Lake Havasu City on Thursday, featuring an array of exciting events suitable for all ages. Among the highlights are two new additions to this year’s celebration.

Lake Havasu City Candy Crawl

Launching its inaugural event, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office will host the Lake Havasu City Candy Crawl from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at The Shops at Lake Havasu. Families can look forward to viewing patrol cars and boats, meeting some K-9 dogs, and collecting candy from various booths set up by the department.

19th Annual Main Street Halloween Fright Night

From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., downtown Lake Havasu will transform into a Halloween wonderland during the 19th Annual Main Street Halloween Fright Night. Vehicle traffic will be prohibited as vendors set up booths throughout Main Street, providing games, face painting, balloon magic, karaoke, and an abundance of food and candy.

For the first time, the Parks and Recreation department will present the Parks & Rec Spooktacular. This free event, taking place at Rotary Park from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., promises trunk or treating, costume displays, and a movie screening for attendees.
