Halloween activities for toddlers (Charlotte, Norman: neighborhood, live in, kids)

[ambyr]

Hi All,
Are there any Halloween activities that would be appropriate for a 3 year old around the Lake Norman or Charlotte area? Also, would the Renaissance Festival be appropriate for that age? I read that there are rides but am thinking those might be for the older kids. Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing, thanks for your post. I know that Gymboree does a halloween party for kids, I took my 2 year old last year. I haven't seen them post anything yet, but I'm sure if you call they would let you know. There's a Gymboree here in Ballantyne. If you hear of any other activities could you please post them. Thanks!

I was just on the Ren Fest website the other day. (yes, hubbie and I go every yr) the Ren Fest would be alot of fun for the kids.. they actually have a special day for the kids to go and trick or treat. admission is free for the kids on that day. link Carolina Renaissance Festival click on special events and scroll to about the middle.

A week before Hallowe'en, Plaza-Midwood holds its annual Fall Crawl Cankerworm Festival, to encourage folks to band their trees. It includes a neighborhood parade of kids in costume, and lots of stuff at Midwood Park. Even if you don't live in P-M, you're welcome to come out! Last year was a whole lot of fun, especially for the little ones.
