Atlanta’s Department of Public Works has scheduled a free Pre-Halloween Boo Bash for Thursday October 29, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Rodney Cook Sr. Park. Reported activities include games, music, face painting and candy. It is another option for children who want to dress up before Saturday.
The event is not an announcement of official trick-or-treat hours. Atlanta has not established citywide hours for Halloween on October 31; neighborhood customs vary. That distinction matters when making plans with other families.
What to do: save the Thursday time and park location if the family wants a free afternoon outing. Recheck the city’s current event notice before departure.
