Community Movement Ahead of Halloween

The St. Cloud area of Minnesota is hosting a variety of events for all ages in celebration of Halloween. From pro wrestling shows to drum circles and pet-friendly trick-or-treating, new forms of festivals are being held every weekend, drawing attention from the local community.

Pro Wrestling Meets Costumes

This weekend, the St. Cloud Eagles Club will host a Midwest All-Star Wrestling show. A unique feature is that participants can attend dressed as their favorite wrestlers. Audience members who arrive in costume will receive prize packs.

The show will feature local professional wrestlers including Rampage Santana, Garrison Creed, and Austin Schmidt. Admission prices are $30 for ringside seats, $20 for general adult admission, and $10 for children's general admission.

Coming Together Through Music

On Sunday, Salem Lutheran Church will host a drum circle event. A drum circle is a gathering where participants create music together using various percussion instruments. Anyone can participate regardless of experience or age, and the event is free with no registration required.

Under a leader's guidance, participants create a common beat, then take turns improvising and leading the group. Various instruments including drums, cymbals, and shakers will be provided.

Trick-or-Treating with Pets

At Waite Park's Marketplace Mall, Pet Supplies Plus is hosting a trunk-or-treat event. A distinctive feature is that pets are welcome to attend.

Children can collect Halloween candy by visiting vehicles, and food, prizes, bounce houses, and live performances will also be provided. Free dog bath services will be available for canine companions.

Additional events scheduled in the area include Parktober at Wilson Park, Boofest at Pine Grove Zoo, and Fall-O-Ween hosted by the Paynesville Historical Society.
