Come Trick or Treat at Tempe’s 31st Annual Family Halloween Carnival with other goblins, ghouls and ghosts. Tempe Parks & Recreation presents this event as a safe alternative to trick-or-treating. Your family will have a bewitching good time. Admission is free. There will be entertainment, costume contests and face painting. Local civic groups will host carnival games and food booths as a fundraiser for their cause. Tickets can be purchased for 25 cents.
