Galewood families looking for neighborhood Halloween fun won't have to venture far this season, as Galewood Park prepares to host its beloved annual Halloween party with expanded offerings for 2025. The Chicago Park District confirmed that the event, which has become a community tradition, will return with festive activities suitable for residents of all ages.

The celebration is part of the citywide 'Halloween in the Parks' initiative presented by Mars Wrigley, bringing accessible and affordable seasonal activities to neighborhoods across Chicago. This year's Galewood Park event will feature traditional favorites including costume contests, seasonal treats, and Halloween-themed games, while adding new elements like arts and crafts stations and special programming for teens. The park's quarter-mile walking path, playground, and picnic area will be transformed with festive decorations for the occasion.

Residents interested in attending can find additional information by contacting Galewood Park directly or visiting the Chicago Park District website. Community members are encouraged to don their best costumes and bring the whole family to this neighborhood celebration, which joins numerous other Halloween activities happening throughout Chicago's parks this month.
