Get the family together to enjoy one or all of these not-so-scary fall activities.
As Halloween approaches, Plant City comes alive with the holiday spirit. Locals searching for the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit don’t have to look far to find holiday fun. Thanks to a variety of efforts from local businesses and organizations, there are several events happening throughout the weekend with plenty of free candy to ensure your little monsters will lapse gleefully into a sugar-induced coma.
These events are in addition to Keel Farm Harvest Days, Fox Squirrel Corn Maze and Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail, which are all open for business this weekend.
