Have fun if you dare!

The Spooktacular Halloween Playdate is an annual event that invites Halloween traditions like costumes and candy for families with young children to gather and celebrate together. Featuring spooky-themed snacks and activities, all ages can expect to have a great time. Families are welcome to dress-up, dance, trade stories, and participate in hands-on (and a little messy) fun!!

This event is OPEN to student, staff, faculty, postdoc, and visiting scholar parents with young children.

Registration is requested. This opportunity is sponsored by the Family Resource Center and the Penn Women's Center.
