The Halloween Market in Chesterton adds seasonal charm with pumpkin decorating, a kids’ costume parade, trick-or-treating at vendor booths, and festive crafts. From the Wakarusa Pumpkin Tree to the Hesston Ghost Train and beyond, the region is packed with festive events, giving families plenty of opportunities to enjoy a full season of Halloween fun throughout Indiana’s Cool North.
