New Lenox Halloween Fest & Scarecrow Stroll: Family Fun at the Commons

The New Lenox Chamber's Halloween Fest returns to the Village Commons on Saturday, Oct 24, 2026, with trunk-or-treat, a pumpkin party, and a costume contest, plus the free Scarecrow Stroll all October.

The New Lenox Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Halloween Fest at the Village Commons on Saturday, Oct 24, 2026, traditionally running 9 to 11 a.m. with trunk-or-treat, a pumpkin party with arts and crafts, and a costume contest. All October long, the Commons also hosts the free Scarecrow Stroll, a walking trail of scarecrows crafted by local businesses and organizations. It is a relaxed, family-focused way to ease into the end of the month, and the Commons' open walkways make it easy with little ones.
