The city of Austin is always alive with community events, and when the Halloween in Austin season hits, we’re more alive than ever. It’s a beautiful time of year here with the change of the leaves, and you can feel that autumn vibe in the air every time you step outside. When you choose to spend Halloween in Austin, there are some events you won’t want to miss. Here are the ones we’re most excited for this year:

Spooky Sprint

Ready to get active this Halloween season? Come out and join us on the first-ever Spooky Sprint. This fun-filled race is a great event for the whole family to attend. There’ll be shirts and medals for every participant, awards, free photos, face painting for the little ones, a kids’ dash for those too small for the bigger races, and a costume contest where you can wow everyone with your awesome getup. There’s an entry fee of $34 for either the 5K or the 10K, but it’s only $29 if you sign up before August 25th!

When: Sat, Oct 19th @ 8:00am – 10:00am
Where: 3300 Brushy Creek Rd

Steiner Ranch Trunk or Treat

You can participate in this community event in two totally different ways. You can either bring your children to trick-or-treat at all the different decorated cars all gathered in the Towne Square parking lot, or you can decorate your own vehicle’s trunk or tailgate and participate yourself! If you want to participate in that way, make sure to sign up ahead of time on the website, and be prepared to decorate your car with creative flair and Halloween spirit, and to provide candy for the little trick-or-treaters running around and having fun.

When: Sun, Oct 27th @ 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Where: Towne Square, 12550 County Trails Ln
