Victorville City Hall will take on a Halloween atmosphere Friday, October 23, when the city hosts its Hallow-Boo Drive-Thru from 6 to 8 p.m.

The free event gives local families a seasonal activity before Halloween while allowing participants to enjoy the experience from their vehicles.

For parents trying to fill the October calendar without adding another expensive outing, a free city event can be especially welcome.

Hallow-Boo has been designed as a community celebration centered on Halloween fun in a controlled drive-through format.

The event’s location at Victorville City Hall also puts the activity in a familiar civic setting for residents from across the city.

Families planning to attend should expect increased vehicle traffic around the event area and allow extra time for the drive-through line.

The October 23 date lands just eight days before Halloween, making Hallow-Boo part of the final stretch of seasonal activities across the Victor Valley.

Parents should check the city’s latest event information before heading out in case traffic instructions or other logistical details change.

October in the High Desert often brings a busy mix of school activities, fall festivals and Halloween celebrations, and community events like this give families another option close to home.

Hallow-Boo is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on October 23.

For Victorville families already planning costumes and Halloween week, the drive-through event offers an early chance to get into the spirit of the season.
