Join us at our first inclusive

Sensory Area

In an effort to create a more welcoming and inclusive event, we are pleased to announce that Halloween on Central this year will include a designated Sensory Zone. Our community partners in this zone will offer many options and opportunities for attendees to utilize sensory tools, receive non-edible “trick or treat” goodies, or simply take a break. It is our hope that the Sensory Zone will allow attendees with neuro-diversities or sensory processing differences to enjoy the festival in a safe and supportive space.
