Trick or Treat! All the Halloween fun for families in Champaign-Urbana
Halloween may be one day, but since Champaign-Urbana (ourselves included) is positively spellbound over this haunted holiday, we are ready to let the cackling, carving and candy craziness begin! We’ve got the lowdown on all the family-friendly Halloween events in the Champaign-Urbana area for 2021 and will be adding to this list regularly.
Thank you to Pixels by Emily for presenting this post. This authentic Magical Santa Experience for children is like nothing you have ever seen. It merges a fully interactive experience with Santa himself for 45 minutes and iconic Norman Rockwell style Christmas portraits. The sounds of beloved Christmas music fill the air and the glow of twinkle lights illuminate Santa’s workshop filled with toys, tools, treats, Christmas trees and Santa himself, creating a truly magical memory that will last a lifetime. Register here and learn more about Pixels by Emily by following them on Facebook and Instagram. Don’t miss this unforgettable experience!
