From Jennifer Han:
Hey Saratoga Community! I’m so excited to announce the Second Annual Saratoga Halloween Kick-Off Bash happening on Friday, October 31st from 4 PM – 6 PM right here in Springfield! This free community event is all about bringing families together for an afternoon of fun, entertainment, and spooky memories.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Special TKD Demonstration – Don’t miss our live martial arts demo at 5:00 PM before the contests kick off!
Free Activities for Kids/Families – Enjoy a moonbounce, face painting, and balloon artist fun, all free for families to enjoy!
Costume Contest (All Ages!) – Sign up at the event (10 contestants max) and show off your best spooky, silly, or creative look. At 5:30 PM, we will hold a fashion show, and the crowd will cheer for their favorite costume. The winner will be announced live! (One prize for first place.) Trunk-or-Treat Contest – Show off your spooky creativity by decorating your trunk for a chance to win a prize and be crowned Saratoga’s Best Trunk-or-Treat of 2025!
To enter, send a photo of your decorated trunk to [email protected] by October 16th.The contest will be decided in three rounds of community voting on our Saratoga Facebook group:

Vendors Wanted – We’re inviting local vendors and businesses to come out, showcase your business, and pass out candy to families! If you’d like to sign up as a vendor, please email [email protected].
Volunteers Needed – Ideally for High school students, this is a great opportunity to earn 4 volunteer hours (2 PM – 6 PM). Duties include helping with setup, monitoring the moonbounce, keeping an eye on safety, and assisting with cleanup. Email us if you’d like to volunteer!
My vision is simple: to bring families together, give kids a safe and fun place kick off trick-or-treating, to make memories, and help local businesses connect with the community. I hope to make the Saratoga Halloween Kick-Off Bash a tradition our community looks forward to every year.
