City of El Paso Parks & Rec Halloween Carnivals Making Frightfully Fun Return

Get your little one's costume ready because the City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting city-wide Halloween carnivals again this year.

Last year, because there was something lurking about that was even scarier than witches and goblins, the city scrapped all in-person events. But with the community in a much better place this year the treats are back.
