Halloween has become one of the most popular holidays for children and families across the country, with millions of kids set to become miniature versions of their favorite superheroes, cartoon characters and more this All-Hallows’ Eve.
But the spooktacular fun will begin at South Texas Health System Children’s nearly one week before Halloweenwith the hospital’s hosting of its Children’s Fall Festival on Friday, October 25.
Since 2007, STHS Children’s has hosted the can’t-miss event of the spooky season to celebrate the spirit of Halloween in a festive and safe environment while creating community connectedness.
Over the years, the Children’s Fall Festival has grown in popularity and size with the addition of carnival rides and interactive games, an illuminated spooky forest, a special food court area and 50 eerie-sistibly decorated booth spaces.
“The Children’s Fall Festival is back and bigger than ever! This year’s family friendly event will once again feature the participation of STHS facilities and departments, government and community organizations and local businesses, all interacting with kids of all ages in their creatively decorated booth spaces. It’s a splendid example of how we can bring the community together to bring joy to children in a safe environment,” says Tom Castañeda, System Director of Marketing & Public Relations, South Texas Health System. “It’s become one of the most popular Halloween events in Hidalgo County with more than 5,000 attendees in 2023! This year’s event should surpass that number!”
Taking place in the main parking lot of STHS Children’s, this year’s Children’s Fall Festival will be held on Friday, October 25, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Everyone in the community is invited to attend the pre-Halloween event. The first 500 children who arrive and register at the main entrance to the festival will receive a free box of popcorn and a collector’s STHS Children’s t-shirt.
