Cranberry Plans Hauntingly Fun Halloween Events

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — A double feature of Halloween happenings is set for Friday October 17 on the Armstrong Great Lawn at the township municipal center on Rochester Road.

The evening starts with Barktoberfest, a continuation of the Town Square Market organized by the Township and the Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber.

Set for 3 p.m.-6:30 p.m., Barktoberfest features pet-related and seasonal vendors, food trucks, and the Aviva Tiki Bar. A pet-specific Halloween photo booth will be available for pets and owners to show off their costumes. All photos will be entered into the Spooktacular Pet Costume Contest, with gift baskets awarded to first and second place winners.

Only photos taken during the Barktoberfest event will be entered into the contest, and no outside photos will be accepted. Students from the Cranberry Township Kids Club will select the winner.

The evening concludes with the Halloween Movie on the Lawn featuring a viewing of “Hotel Transylvania,’ beginning at 7:30 p.m. Attendees can bring chairs, blankets, and costumes to enjoy this free movie screening. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase from Fun Fore All/Cranberry Dairy Queen.
