Spooky season has officially arrived in Fredericksburg! 🎃

October is packed with family-friendly fun, from our Monster Roll Skate Night and Park After Dark to Halloween at the Market. And, of course, you won’t want to miss more than 2,000 rubber ducks racing down the Rappahannock during the FXBG Rubber Ducky Derby!

Grab the family and make the most of October with Parks & Rec!
