Lincoln Middle School’s Scream Fest returns Oct. 23 with a Friday carnival featuring laser tag, games and food trucks, followed by two additional nights of haunted-house activities.
The annual event, organized by the Lincoln PTSA and Associated Student Body, runs Friday, Oct. 23, from 4 to 7 p.m. with the full festival lineup. Saturday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25, both run 5 to 7 p.m. and feature the haunted house plus an eighth-grade bake sale, according to the PTSA's event page.
Entry is free and open to all ages.
Friday's lineup includes laser tag, a video game truck, carnival games, food trucks and concessions alongside the haunted house. Younger visitors get a gentler start: a "Not-So-Scary Boo Session" runs during the first 30 minutes each night.
Unused haunted-house tabs from Friday wristbands can be redeemed Saturday or Sunday.
