The City of Brighton is thrilled to present a special fall edition of our Flix & Kicks series — Spooky Saturday! Join us on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 5 p.m. at Carmichael Park (650 E. Southern Street) for an evening of family-friendly fun featuring the animated film Hotel Transylvania (PG, 2012). 

The pre-movie kids’ activity begins at 3:30 p.m. to get the little ones in the spooky spirit. Children are encouraged to wear costumes, adding to the Halloween-themed excitement. A food truck will be on-site to offer snacks during the event.  

This free, public event welcomes all families. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and any other items to ensure a comfortable viewing experience. 

Prior to the movie, Brighton Recreation Center (555 N 11th Avenue) will hold a Halloween Costume Exchange from noon to 4 p.m. Bring in your old costume and take home something new-to-you—all for free! New and gently used costume donations can be dropped off starting Sept. 23. This is your moment to give that once-worn ensemble a second life—and maybe score a fresh, fun look for yourself. Let's reduce waste and share some Halloween spirit. 

Please ensure costumes are freshly washed or dry-cleaned, sanitized, and looking their best—no stains, odors, or damage. Condition matters, and costumes should be gently used only. Please do not bring items that are torn or missing essential parts.

If you have questions, please email events@brightonco.gov.
