Celebrate Spooky Season: Halloween In Gahanna

Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 by Visit Gahanna.

Have you ordered your costume yet? Don’t be spooked because digging through your closet for a homemade costume will do just the TRICK. It’s a fun time of year - filled with pumpkins, hot cider, treats for kiddos AND adults alike. It even gives us a reason to dive into our favorite horror films *que the hands covering both eyes*. On top of your favorite “at-home” activities, Gahanna has quite the variety of events happening during Halloween this year. Check out the full list below - ranging from a haunted wine cellar, a spooky 5K & more!
