The Acworth Parks and Recreation department will host its annual family-friendly Halloween JamBOOree festival on Saturday, October 27, from 3-7 p.m. at the Logan Farm Park expansion at 4500 Cherokee St, Acworth.

Families and children of all ages can participate in carnival games and activities, including costume contests, a petting zoo, inflatables and a free hayride. Games and activities will cost tickets, which can be purchased on site the day of the festival.

The costume contests start at 4 p.m. and are divided by age group and gender. Boys and girls aged 3-and-under, 4 and 5, 6 to 8, and 9 to 12 can show off their costumes to win candy and prizes.

Non-profit vendors will be selling food, drinks and snacks. Cub Scout Pack 611 will hold their annual food drive, the Scouting for Food Program, and attendees who donate non-perishable food will receive five free game tickets per child.
