Halloween falls on Monday, Oct. 31 and fun times are planned in Ceres and Keyes.

The annual Ceres Halloween Festival will take place at the Ceres Community Center from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31. Families will be treated to a safe and fun evening filled with free activities but all children must be accompanied by an adult.

The event will feature a costume contest, games, Halloween photo booth, crafts, dance instruction, a science room, a fake tattoo parlor, storytelling, face painting and a haunted courtyard experience.

Helping the city to put on the event will be youth groups from both Ceres and Central Valley high schools as well as Mae Hensley and Blaker Kinser junior high schools.
