Haunted Trail & Bonfire
It’s that time of year when there is a chill in the air…and little monsters can be found everywhere! Come out with your family and friends and join us for the biggest fall event of the year – the Lindenhurst Park District’s Annual Haunted Trail & Bonfire. Enjoy wagon rides, games/prizes, a kid’s costume contest, entertainment, warm apple cider, a bonfire, and take a walk through a spooky trail in the woods. Come hungry, because we’ve got plenty of food trucks to choose from, desserts, and Black Lung Brewery introducing their NEW beer “Haunted Hurst”!
