18th Annual HOWL-o-ween at IslandWood

Enjoy our trails and get some mileage out of your Halloween costume at the same time!

This family-friendly event will feature warm cookies, hot cider, and seasonal treats for you, as well as trailside stations where you can learn about nature's spooky, weird, and wonderful ways! Visit the garden to learn the science of squash, enjoy storytelling next to a roaring bonfire at the Friendship Circle, craft bewitching art in the art studio, or conduct a boneyard investigation with Dr. McDiggins! Be sure to join us in the Great Hall for our featured naturalist of the evening to share what they know about spooky and seasonal creatures.

We will be on the trails to visit with you and share some spooky scientific facts about plant and animal wildlife. We can't wait to see you all dressed up.*
