Parents are invited to bring their little ghosts and goblins to North Point Mall for a Saturday afternoon of family-friendly activities including music, face painting, craft tables, a photobooth and an ugly pumpkin “guess the weight” contest.

The Halloween event, set to run from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., is free.

Along with the fun and candy, pets dressed in Halloween attire from Among Us Pet Rescue will be on-site for adoption. A Starbuck’s gift basket will be raffled off with all proceeds going to Angles Among Us Pet Rescue.

Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and trick-or-treat at selected stores throughout the mall. For a list of participating stores, visit center court.
