Children and parents alike get into the act for an unforgettable and safe Halloween experience at the Chicago French Market's Great Pumpkin Party Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. The day begins with a pumpkin decorating activity for the kids, followed by a market-wide costume parade and best costume contest that will be judged by age group, followed by market wide trick or treating. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes. Reservations are recommended to assure that the Market will have enough pumpkins on hand to decorate. RSVP to parents@fultonriverdistrict.org
