brought to you by Sunshine City with Kids
Grand Central District & Sunshine City with Kids are proud to bring back the Family Zone at Halloween on Central for 2026.
The Family Zone is back for its second year, and we have some super fun updates in store!
A big thank you to our Family Zone sponsor, St. Pete Pediatrics, who will be bringing an interactive scavenger hunt tunnel and everyone’s favorite, Dr. C Manatee, for a special meet and greet!
Now spanning two city blocks, the Family Zone has moved east to the 2600 and 2700 blocks of Central Avenue. This dedicated area is designed just for kids and families and will be packed with fun, hands-on activities, games, costumes, entertainment, and, of course, CANDY!
Located in an easy-to-access area of the festival, the Family Zone offers a safe, engaging space where little ones can enjoy Halloween in a playful and welcoming environment. It’s the perfect place for families to make lasting memories while enjoying one of St. Pete’s most beloved Halloween traditions!
