BIRMINGHAM, AL – Get ready for a fun night of thrills and chills as Vulcan Park & Museum sets the stage for one of Birmingham’s most anticipated fall evenings. On Friday, October 31, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, guests are invited to experience the third annual Vulcan’s Spooktacular, a family-friendly Halloween event packed with activities for all ages.
Trick-or-treat stations will be located throughout the museum, with a DJ spinning spooky beats, face painting, vendors offering unique local gifts and merchandise, photo opportunities around the Park, activities, and more! Beer, wine, and cocktails will be available for purchase, along with offerings from local food vendors. Vulcan’s beloved mascot, “V,” will make a special appearance to greet guests and pose for photos.
“Vulcan’s Spooktacular has quickly become one of Birmingham’s favorite Halloween traditions,” said Cynthia Cardona, President & CEO of Vulcan Park & Museum. “It’s a night that brings families and friends together to celebrate the season, enjoy the view, and experience the joy of community.”
For those looking to extend the fun, adults 21 and older (with a valid ID) can purchase tickets to the second annual Halloween Party, hosted by the Vulcan Park & Museum Junior Board from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
