Halloween Yard Decorating Contest

Get into the spooky spirit of the season and show off your Halloween creativity! The Village of Northfield and Northfield Park District are excited to partner on our first Halloween Yard Decorating Contest, where residents can transform their homes and yards into frightfully fun, whimsical, or spine-chilling displays. Whether you prefer classic pumpkins, ghostly graveyards, or over-the-top haunted houses, we want to see your best Halloween magic! 

Winners will earn community bragging rights (and prizes!) Learn more and sign up to participate here
