Ghosts and ghouls of all ages are invited to haunt Destin Commons on Friday, Oct. 27 from 6-8 p.m. for the shopping center’s annual Halloween Haunt event.

This year’s Halloween Haunt will feature trick-or-treating at retailers, face painting, a photo booth, arts and crafts stations, and a professional chalk artist creating spooky sidewalk art that kids can add to with their own chalk drawings. 

  • Costume contests for both kids and adults will take place with prizes awarded in multiple categories. 
  • Event attendees can also test their estimating skills by guessing the number of pumpkins on display for a chance to win a prize.

Destin Commons invites everyone to dress up in creative costumes and enjoy bewitching activities, photo ops, and trick-or-treating. 

The event is free and open to the public.
