A recently rediscovered 1989 copy of Powell Gardens' Garden Horizon newsletter lists the event as the "Third Annual Halloween Spooktacular," and the event has continued to be a family favorite ever since. Continue or start a new family tradition this year. What's new this year? Meet Simba, Aladdin and Tianna. Plus, the Powell Rangers stumble upon a stinky surprise. All will be illuminated in the light of hundreds of eerily carved jack-o-lanterns and luminaries along the lighted path. "Forgotten" and fractured fairytales come to life. Wear your costume and comfortable walking shoes, bring a trick-or-treat bag, and get ready for a spooktacular time! Refreshments will be served following the tour. Come early and enjoy spooky grub in Cafe Thyme and take a walk through our spooky Glow Lab. All this and more at Powell Gardens 24th Annual Halloween Spooktacular.
