Hallowee-kend Events in DFW

The sun is expected to be out this weekend, and Lo and I are ready to enjoy some of the planned festivities! (Jon would prefer to stay home and relax. Ha!) There are tons of fun family friendly events happening, so here’s a short list of what’s going on throughout Dallas/Fort Worth.

There are so many church festivals and trunk or treats in the area, I decided to keep it to city or local business/organization organized events for this list. If you are wondering when the churches near you are passing out candy or hosting fall festivals, check their website and Facebook pages. If I missed an event, post the info in the comments so we can all see.
