The City of Tega Cay has scheduled three events for the week of Oct. 27 through Nov. 1, including a pumpkin carving contest, a Revolutionary War themed ghost tour and a trunk-or-treat for children, according to the city.
Pumpkin Palooza, now in its third year, invites individuals, families, clubs, church groups and organizations to carve a jack-o’-lantern for a chance to win prizes and a trophy, the city said. Entries must be dropped off by 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, at the city sign near Memorial Gardens, with drop-off instructions emailed to registrants. The pumpkins will be lit with string lights each evening from Oct. 27 through Halloween night and judged in three categories: Most Creative, Most Complicated and Best Traditional. Registration closes Oct. 25.
On Oct. 30 from 7 to 9:30 p.m., the city will host Ghosts of the Revolution, a free walking ghost tour set in 1776 that combines ghost stories, interactive theater and living history as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary commemoration, according to the city. Visitors can arrive any time during that window with no tickets or cost required. The event has been financed in part with state funds from the SC American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission, known as SC250, though the city said the content does not necessarily reflect SC250’s views.
On Halloween night, Oct. 31, the city will hold Boos and Ghouls, a trunk-or-treat event at the Glennon Center parking lot from 4 to 6 p.m. The event will include a DJ, a costume contest for all ages and trick-or-treating, the city said. Organizers are seeking sponsors and tailgaters to participate, and residents with questions can contact Caroline Hasty.
