🎃 PumpkinFest Costume Contests Come to Dayton – Two Days of Halloween Fun at Centennial Park

MainStreet Dayton is bringing back PumpkinFest’s Costume Contests this October, offering two separate competitions designed to celebrate Halloween across generations. The events take place at Centennial Park in Dayton (Rhea County), with no registration required-just show up in costume and join the festivities.

📅 Two Contests, Two Days of Celebration

The first contest is dedicated to senior citizens, taking place on Friday, October 30 at 2:00 PM at Centennial Park. 👴👵 The general Costume Contest follows the next day, Saturday, October 31 at 4:00 PM, also at Centennial Park. Both events welcome participants of all creativity levels-whether costumes are funny, elaborate, or simply festive, organizers are inviting everyone to showcase their Halloween spirit.

✨ How to Participate

There’s no need to pre-register or worry about complicated entry rules. 🎭 Participants simply need to arrive in costume at the designated time and location. The format keeps the barrier to entry low, making it easy for families, friends, and individuals to join in on the fun. Even those who prefer not to dress up are welcome to attend and cheer on the contestants.

🎪 Community Connection

PumpkinFest is part of MainStreet Dayton’s ongoing effort to bring seasonal celebration and community gathering to the downtown area. These costume contests offer a chance for neighbors to connect, celebrate together, and create Halloween memories in a welcoming, family-friendly setting. 🤝
