It’s Fall Y’all – Halloween Block Party – 26 Oct 2024

For our “It’s Fall Y’all” event this year, LGNA is again hosting a Halloween-themed Block Party on Saturday, October 26 with spooky fun for “kids” of all ages. It will be held from 2pm to 5pm on Concho between Palo Pinto and Velasco. There will be live music, lots of food and drink, seasonal family-friendly activities, a Halloween Costume Parade for families (and pets), and lots of opportunities to hang with old friends and meet new neighbors. The event is free but donations are welcome to help offset the costs and to support the Peace Pantry food banks, which serve students in need at our two elementary schools, Geneva Heights and Mockingbird.

The Halloween Costume Parade will leave from the Block Party around 4:00pm. Parade spectators and those giving out candy can line up along  Concho between Palo Pinto and Goliad and along Delmar between Goliad and Velasco. Parade participants will return to the Block Party for the awarding of costume contest prizes. Families from across LGNA are welcome to participate. 

Fall Y’all Halloween Block Party events include:
– Live music from School of Rock
– Mexican food from El Come Taco
– Bounce House
– Halloween Parade & Costume Contest
– Spooky crafts
– Pumpkin decorating
– Halloween Photo Booth
– Donations for the elementary school Peace Pantries

If you’d like to help volunteer with set up, clean up or with some of the activities, please reach out to the “It’s Fall Y’all” organizing committee at lgnafallyall@gmail.com.

The party is BYOB, but we do have two kegs of beer to share from our generous friends at Meyboom Brasserie. This event has received wonderful support from our fantastic business neighbors and residents alike. THANK YOU to our following sponsors.

  • Location: Cooper Hotel, 12330 Preston Rd, Dallas, TX 75230

Among the topics they will be addressing at this summit are:

  • What is ForwardDallas exactly and why should you care?   
  • Does Dallas have an affordable housing problem and will ForwardDallas solve it?
  • Impacts of Higher Density Residential Development (crime, property values, quality of life)
  • ForwardDallas or “Backward Dallas” – The Good, Bad, & Ugly

Please RSVP HERE for the event and share with your family and friends.

This event will take place just a week before the planned city council ForwardDallas vote on September 25th. Time is running out!
