Although COVID-19 has created many challenges this year, we can still find safe, creative ways to enjoy the holidays. There are a bunch of local Halloween activities happening across Kitsap County. I’ve compiled this list, and all of these activities involve precautions such as wearing masks.
Halloween from the Comfort of Your Car
Haunted Hayride at Battle Point: This safe “spooky drive-thru” is for people of all ages. Characters and scenes will come out of the shadows as you drive. You must register in advance using Activity #541004 online at biparks.org or by phone at 206-842-2302.

Trunk-or-Treat Drive Thru the Decades: Enjoy a blast from the past as you drive through the decades. Trunks and tents will be decorated, showcasing elements of the 1940’s all the way up to today. Kids can play an “I Spy” game along the way and designated staff with masks and gloves will be handing out candy while guests remain in their cars.
When: Oct. 31, 2020 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Local Outdoor Activities to Enjoy
Pumpkin Walk: This local tradition happens every year at Bainbridge Gardens. Check out hundreds of painted pumpkins and add your own painted pumpkin to the trail! Visit throughout October to see everyone’s pumpkins on display. You can also dress up in your Halloween costume and take pictures with the “Great Pumpkin”. Masks are required. The Bainbridge Island Boys and Girls Club has been the beneficiary of the Pumpkin Walk for years. The Club has provided a safe place for children of essential workers. Donations are encouraged to support the Club.
