Thousands of children are expected to follow a candy trail on Saturday, October 25, 2025 from noon to 3:00 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park in La Vergne. The annual “Goblins and Goodies at the Park” is free and includes a hike along the trail to “trick or treat” from local organizations and businesses.
Local businesses and organizations that sign up to participate in the program decorate their booths with a family-friendly Halloween theme. They hand out everything from candy to goo-goo clusters and often have games set up for children to play. The entire event is free to the public.
We will have a costume contest at Pavilion A at 1:00 p.m. Contest winners will be announced at 1:30 p.m. Age groups are 4 & under, 5 - 9 years old, 10 - 14 years old, and 15 & up. Gift cards will go to 1st ($50), 2nd ($25), and 3rd ($15) place winners.
Stick around for the Zombie Dance at 2:00 p.m. featuring family-friendly Halloween music the whole family can enjoy.
