“Fright Night in the Park” Halloween Event

The Pawtucket Parks & Recreation Division presents “Fright Night in the Park” at Slater Memorial Park. The Halloween festivities take place on Friday and Saturday evenings, starting October 6 and continuing through Saturday, October 28.  Events will not take place during periods of inclement weather. Event cancellations will be noted on the “Pawtucket Parks & Recreation” and the “Slater Park Haunted Tunnel” Facebook pages.

The Haunted Tunnel attraction will take place at the Daggett Farm facility within the Park.  The tunnel opens at 6:30 and closes by 9 p.m.  Early arrival is strongly suggested due to large attendance in addition to the line closure prior to 9 p.m.  The cost for the Tunnel is $8.00 per person, regardless of age. Group discounts are not offered.  Because of its scary content, the Tunnel is strongly recommended for ages 12 and above only.  The Haunted Tunnel can be found on Facebook under “Slater Park Haunted Tunnel” and at “Haunted Tunnel at Daggett Farm” on YouTube.

Adjacent to the carousel Slater Park Pavilion is the “family-friendly” “Jack-o-Lantern Village” event displayed with jack-o-lanterns, a witch’s house and a variety of funny face houses.  The attraction is open 6:30 – 9 pm.  Admission is $5 per person, 12 years of age or older.  Children 12 and under receive free admission.

The carousel will also be open throughout the month’s festivities as well, until October 29 from 6 – 8 p.m on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 am to 8 p.m. The carousel will also be open on Sundays from 11 am to 5 p.m through October 29^th as well, weather permitting.
