How-To Halloween is a family-friendly festival that celebrates creativity, imagination and the innovative spirit of the frightfully fun season!

Discover a wicked wonderland of interactive exhibits, unique vendors, spookalicious food and amazing entertainment! Our mission is to inspire kids and the ‘kids at heart’ to get goose bumps for the creative process as they participate in many hands-on activities, how-to sessions and immersive experiences.

Fire up your proton packs because we’re busting GHOSTS for our 11th annual extravaganza! Meet the members of the local Ghostbuster fan groups along with Michigan Beetlejuice as you venture through the haunted cemetery on a thrilling journey to search for supernatural spirits appearing around every corner of the spooky trail. BOO!

Everyone is invited to many outdoor attractions and festivities happening in the Riverside Parking Lot of Impression 5 Science Center which is FREE to attend!

There is also special programming inside the science center (regular admission fee to enter) including the experienced professionals from Southern Michigan Paranormals who will be sharing spine-tingling stories about the mysterious places they’ve visited across the state and showing off all the high-tech gear they use to detect ghostly phenomena.

We also have trick-or-treating for the kids outside along with costume contests, character appearances and the Downtown Lansing Zombie Walk. So mark your calendar, tell your friends and get your costume ready for a spooktacular day on Saturday October 4th from 11am-5pm on the grounds of Impression 5.

Please contact us if you have any questions or if you’d like to participate as a vendor, exhibitor, entertainer or sponsor of How-To Halloween, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Happy Halloween! – from ROBOT PUMPKIN
