5th Annual Halloween at The Island

5th-annual-halloween-at-the-island-pigeon-forge

Eerie winds howling, scary creatures skulking, endless screams screeching…Halloween is creeping up on us, which means ghosts in the trees, costumes around every corner, and parents guiltlessly jump-scaring their kids. Instead of your usual at-home trick or treating, why not head to the Smokies for some Halloween fun?! 

Mix it up this year at The Island’s Halloween celebration in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Their annual trick-or-treat celebration will be on Halloween this year – October 31 – and will be packed with family fun on the Parkway! Costumed kids will have a blast trick-or-treating from 5 – 7 PM at The Island, with the bright lights of The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel as the backdrop. 

Costumes and Contests and Prizes, Oh My!
No Halloween fun is complete without some fun costumes for the family! We have some fun ideas for all ages. 

  • 0-2 (A little pumpkin, Winnie the Pooh’s “hunny” pot, a ladybug…the adorable possibilities are endless.)
  • 3-5 (princess, superhero, a colorful crayon, a fire-breathing dragon, or a spooky skeleton) 
  • 6-10 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, superheroes, Ada Twist, or Miss Frizzle!)
  • 11-15 (Traditional Halloween costumes are always nice to see: witch, skeleton, ghost, vampire, pirate, zombie, fairy, etc.)
  • 16-20 (Channel your inner superhero — you know the one.) 
  • 21+ (Think fun couples’ and group costumes from your favorite shows…)
  • Family/Group (Find your group costume inspiration from popular series like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.) 
  • Pets (Dress up with your pet as Dorothy and Toto or Billy and Gizmo.)
