Event Description: Join us for an evening of gentle Halloween wonder at Sweetbriar Nature Center! Wander a softly lit pumpkin lantern walk through the grounds, meet our animal ambassadors during special live presentations, and step into our Misunderstood Creatures tent to learn the truth behind Halloween's most feared (and most misjudged) animals.
This event is designed to be welcoming for all ages, including children with sensory sensitivities. No scary trails, jump-scares, or loud music—just twinkling lanterns, seasonal decorations, animal presentations and calm, family-friendly fun for kids and adults alike.
