Thank you to everyone who stopped by at the Water Street Festival! It was so nice to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and welcome new subscribers to KFG. If you snapped a picture at the KFG photo op, I’d love to see it! Tag Kerrville Family Guide in your photos, and I’ll randomly choose one tagged photo to receive a $25 gift card for next week’s newsletter. 📸

Now, who’s ready for Halloween? 🎃 Alongside familiar favorites like Toddler Time at The Ridge and Kerr Kids open play, the calendar has plenty of opportunities to put those costumes to use. I’m excited for all the festive fun our community has to offer this week. Let’s get right into it!

Thursday, October 29 | 6:30 p.m. | Admission by donation

Who did it, where, and with what? Tivy Theatre brings the familiar suspects from the classic board game to the stage in Clue, a murder mystery comedy by Sandy Rustin. Catch an evening of mystery, mix-ups, and laughs while supporting local student performers! Open to the public and all ages. They also have a Friday and Saturday showing if you can’t make Thursday.

Friday, October 30 | Market: 4–7:30 p.m. | Ornament decorating: 5–6 p.m. | Craft: $5 per child

Kick off your Friday with a little after-school Halloween fun! Trick-or-treat at the Ingram Farmers Market vendors, then decorate a Halloween ornament while enjoying cookies and punch on the same HCAF campus. It’s an easy way to start the evening before heading into the rest of your Friday plans.

Registration is required for ornament decorating, and parents must stay with their children. Register here.

Friday, October 30 | 6–8:30 p.m. | Trailhead Beer Garden

Costumes, carnival games, and spooky karaoke! Schreiner University’s Halloween Carnival brings an evening of family fun to Trailhead Beer Garden, including a costume contest.

Saturday, October 31 | 11 a.m.–2 p.m. | Hosanna Lutheran Church

Start your Saturday with live music, yard games, a bounce house, and family fun! Enjoy bratwurst, hot dogs, a soda bar, cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn before heading into your evening Halloween plans.

Saturday, October 31 | 4:30–7:30 p.m. | Kerrville-Schreiner Park

Put those costumes on for trick-or-treating, music, games, food, inflatables, and a haunted house with Kerrville Parks and Recreation!

You’ll find even more Halloween parties, trunk-or-treats, and family fun on the KFG calendar. Browse the full Kerrville Family Guide calendar & details on events here. 👇
