7th Annual Spooky Stroll

TRIBE Seminole Heights is bringing back its Spooky Stroll on Saturday, October 24, from 6 PM to 9 PM. It's their signature Halloween event, held on the campus of Seminole Heights United Methodist Church at 6111 N Central Ave in Tampa. The whole campus gets transformed for the night with immersive art, themed stations, games, music, prizes, and treats. Costumes are encouraged, and every child gets a free book through Rooted in Reading.

It's now in its seventh year, which is a bit of a story in itself. The Spooky Stroll started during the COVID pandemic as a small way to bring families together when things were tough, and it's grown from there into a neighborhood tradition the organization looks forward to every year. TRIBE describes itself as a community organization whose mission is to provide essential services and foster connections, and this is the night that puts that on display. The event relies on community contributions: volunteers help set up the décor and run the activity stations, and families can donate candy, toys, or small treats to keep the bowls full.

Beyond the costumes and the candy, there's a practical side to the night. Every ticket supports TRIBE and the free programs it runs for families throughout the year, so your entry does more than just get you through the gate. It's a family-friendly evening that works for all ages, with the immersive art and games as the main draw. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children, and the whole thing runs from 6 PM to 9 PM on Saturday, October 24, at the Seminole Heights United Methodist Church campus.
