Ready for spook-tactular fun in the company of sweet people and in a gourd-geous setting? Then come to Broadwell Pavilion from 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 25, for Carvin’ in Crabapple – Milton’s family-friendly celebration of Halloween and then some.

At Carvin’ in Crabapple, attendees bring their own pumpkin while the City supplies supply safe cutting and vivid painting tools for you to create the creepiest or silliest jack o’ lantern this side of 400. (Pro tip: Bring a container or gallon-sized ziplock bag to save your seeds for roasting.)

But the fun at Carvin’ goes well beyond that.

Milton Police Department will host Trunk-or-Treat across Broadwell Road, giving costumed kids the opportunity to fill up their bags and bellies with candy. Plus, a select few who emerge as victors in the costume contest will go home with even more prizes.

Children can jump off their sugar intake on giant inflatables, or channel their energy into creating Halloween-themed arts and crafts masterpieces. And young-and-old can grab a delicious dinner or desert from one of the on-site food trucks, perhaps enjoying both while watching an SEC showdown or Georgia Tech football game on a special viewing screen. And new this year is a caricature artist who can create frame-worthy sketches of your loved ones.

Carvin’ in Crabapple wouldn’t be possible without our community’s support. We’d like to give a special shout-out to our top-level sponsors from the Reid Casey Real Estate Team and Painted Horse Winery, as well as the generosity of fellow sponsors Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Stable Orthodontics.
