Family-Friendly Halloween Event

The Bull Run Mountain Conservancy is hosting its annual Halloween Safari Friday, Oct. 20, and Friday, Oct. 27, at Leopold’s Preserve. One of its largest events of the year, this is a non-scary nighttime hike through the preserve. Volunteers along the trail dress as animals and perform fun interactive skits that help participants learn more about nature. After the hike, enjoy a bonfire and live music in the parking lot.

This event is family-friendly, and costumes are encouraged! Participants are encouraged to bring a flashlight and good walking shoes. Pre-registration is required and costs $10 per person. Pre-register here for Oct. 20 and here for Oct. 27. Hikes have timed entries between 7 and 8 p.m.
