Halloween in the Historic District
Join a spooky day of family fun in Philadelphia’s Historic District! On Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the area transforms into a Halloween wonderland perfect for all ages.
Start your adventure at the Independence Visitor Center – there you’ll find treat bags and maps for all trick-or-treaters. The map will guide you to participating organizations throughout the district, some offering special events, programs, and of course, candy! Pumpkin painting will be happening inside the Independence Visitor Center at 11:00 am.
