It was a festive afternoon as ghosts, princesses, and superheroes filled Holt Ave. on the campus of Rollins College on Saturday to celebrate an early Halloween during the College's annual Halloween Howl.
From 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. kids decked out in their best Halloween outfits participated in games and went table-to-table as they trick-or-treated. Among other events, kids participating could also paint their own little pumpkins, participate in a costume contest, and enjoy a couple of bouncey houses.
But kids weren't the only ones dressed up – many parents also joined in on the fun as they wore their own costumes.
The event was free and open to the public, offering a safe and family friendly atmosphere for kids of all ages.
