The Smyrna Parks and Recreation’s Halloween in the Park returns to Sharp Springs Natural Area this weekend. Featuring costume contests, haunted hayrides, a haunted corn maze, games, prizes, and more, this event has been a staple in the Smyrna community for 25 years. 

“Halloween in the Park is one of the largest events the Town of Smyrna hosts,” Smyrna Parks and Recreation Director Mike Moss said. “We are grateful for the support of our community, our colleagues, and Town leadership.  Events like this bring our community together and help maintain our small-town feel.”
