Get your costumes ready for a free Halloween event just for kids! Goodwill of the Heartland and Rock Island Parks and Recreation presents Fright Night in the Park on Thursday, October 28th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Schwiebert Riverfront Park in Rock Island.

Enjoy trick-or-treating, a costume contest, and a fun and safe Halloween event! The first 500 children will receive a free goodie bag! Over 30 community agencies will host various activities and/or trick-or-treating. A live DJ will be spinning fun dance music, Rock Island’s own Metro Youth Dance Team, Royal Drama Dance Team and a “thrilling” dance performance will round out the night. Secret guest judges will be walking around the park handing out costume contest prize certificates to be redeemed for a special prize. You never know who may be watching!

Fright Night is made possible by the help of our contributors: presenting sponsor Goodwill of the Heartland, Downtown Rock Island, Icons Martini, Daiquiri Factory, Target – Davenport, State Rep Mike Halpin, Midwest Complete Construction, Sanitary Cleaners, McManus Orthodontics, Jeff James Entertainment, and Pieler Productions.
