Fall is looking great around the Triangle, whether you’re looking for something spooky or totally kid-friendly!

We have also put together a big list of Halloween events and Trick or Treat events!

The event features two performances of Squonk’s Hand to Hand, free cake and ice cream, student performances interactive art-making and t-shirt giveaways.
Squonk’s Hand to Hand concert features two giant puppet hands, each the size of a house and rigged like a sailing ship. Between the delightful puppets, Squonk musicians climb a multi-tiered stage delivering a progressive rock journey that is spectacular, hypnotic and joy inducing.
