Schiller: Party on the Porch

Schiller Community Center is hosting Party on the Porch on Thursday, October 29, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. It's a Halloween event held at Schiller Park in Columbus, and the main draw is a trick-or-treat trail that runs through the site.

If you're planning a Halloween route for the kids, this is one to add to the map. The trail is set up so you can walk through and collect treats along the way, and there's a photo booth on hand to capture the costumes. The whole area is decorated for the occasion, so it's a spot where you can stop and hang out for a bit rather than just passing through. It's a good way to get some trick-or-treating in before the actual holiday rolls around on Friday.

Since it's in Schiller Park, it's easy to combine with other things in the neighborhood. The event runs for two hours, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, which puts it right in that early evening window—late enough for the costumes to feel right, but early enough that you're not out too late on a school night. It's a straightforward, family-friendly stop on the way to wherever else you've got planned for the night.

So, if you're putting together your trick-or-treat trail for the neighborhood, you can make Schiller Park one of the stops. The Party on the Porch runs from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on Thursday, October 29, at the Schiller Community Center in Columbus.
