Monster Mash 2026

Get ready for a frightfully fun evening at West Carrollton’s annual Monster Mash on Thursday, October 22nd, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Bring the family for a Halloween celebration filled with activities, entertainment, and plenty of candy. The evening will feature games, free popcorn, pumpkin decorating, seasonal crafts, Touch-a-Truck, themed photo opportunities, live performances, a costume contest, tractor rides, and more. Pumpkins will be available while supplies last.

The West Carrollton Fire Department and West Carrollton Police Department will join the festivities for Touch-a-Truck, while Dayton Mobile DJ keeps the evening moving with music.

Community organizations and partners will offer even more activities throughout the event. West Carrollton Nazarene Church will host pumpkin decorating, Family Church will lead a scavenger hunt, and the Dayton Metro Library will invite participants to make a spooky bookmark. Valor Martial Arts will take the stage for a live performance, while Sky Zone will bring a prize wheel, giveaways, tug-of-war, and tic-tac-toe.

Keep an eye out for some special characters and vehicles, too! Apollo Rebellion will bring Star Wars characters and a themed Jeep, and Ghostbusters will join the Halloween fun alongside the Slimer Ghostbuster Jeep and Slimer Challenger. Beetlejuice and Jeep will also make a special appearance.

Food will be available for purchase from El Meson and Fresh Off the Hook.

Monster Mash is made possible through the combined efforts of the West Carrollton Parks & Recreation Board, City Beautiful Commission, community volunteers, West Carrollton National Honor Society students, and participating community partners. Together, they help bring this annual tradition to life and create a fun Halloween evening for the West Carrollton community.
