🎃 Looks like the witches have been busy while the city slept…our crew slipped into the streets under the cover of darkness, up to their old tricks and working a little midnight magic. With pumpkins in hand, they strung glowing gourds through downtown, casting a familiar Halloween spell once again.

By morning, the streets were enchanted, the pumpkins were floating, and the spirit of Halloween had officially taken hold. 👻🕸️

October has been declared by the mayor each year as the busiest month to be a Hattiesburger, and it’s easy to see why. From spooky Halloween fun to arts programs and the art market, National Night Out Against Crime, parades, girls softball, football, and finally some cooler weather, there is no shortage of things to do and enjoy.

We’re excited to share our October Calendar of Programs and Events to help you plan your month.

And this calendar doesn’t even include all of the other great events happening throughout our city. Hattiesburg truly comes alive in October, with opportunities for families, friends, neighbors, and visitors to get out, get involved, and enjoy everything our community has to offer.

Join us for one of the best months of the year and make the most of October in Hattiesburg!

Something wickedly wonderful is happening as we kick off October.
