Set for Thursday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. on Main Street, the evening is expected to feature free candy, carnival games, live music, food trucks, a Michael Jackson “Thriller” dance led by a professional dance team and more, according to Lead Pastor Mauricio Ruiz.
“It’s a huge event — it’s monstrous,” Ruiz said with a laugh. “This year we got together with our creative team and we said, ‘How can we outdo ourselves from last year?’”

While the 2018 Family Thrill Night saw about 1,700 families, event organizers are anticipating between 2,000 and 2,500 families this year.
The event was created to provide families with a safer environment for their children to get free candy on Halloween than traditional trick-or-treating, according to Ruiz.
“We just love to create a safe environment in a not-so-safe world that we live in today,” he said. “It’s unfortunate but true, and so we like to have a place where families can bring their kids, their youth, but also grown adults get to enjoy (it).”
Between eight and 10 carnival game booths are planned for the event, where adults and children alike can play for prizes, and no one leaves empty-handed, Ruiz noted.
“Whether you win or lose, you still get prizes, candy — tons of candy,” he said. “(Last year) we had kids walking away with big old bags of candy, and we want to do that again.”
