Bartow Halloween Parade & Carnival

Head to Bartow for the annual Halloween Parade, followed by a CARNIVAL! Pick your spot along the parade route, and when the parade ends make your way to the Bartow Civic Center for a carnival with games, food trucks, rides, and plenty of fall fun! (Mosaic Park – the carnival location in previous years – is getting new fields so the carnival will be in the Civic Center Parking lot)

Bartow’s favorite family tradition is now better than ever! Expanded food selections including food trucks; New games; Costume contest for store-bought and homemade; Crickette Club’s famous cake walk; Drawing for $500, $250 and $100; Bingo and much, much more.

The parade begins at 4pm. The carnival begins once the parade reaches the carnival grounds at the Bartow Civic Center; usually about 5pm. Registration for the costume contest is free and begins at 5:30 p.m. First contest begins at approximately 6 o’clock.
