48th Ward Fall Events - 2026
The 48th Ward loves Fall! There are so many ways to get involved throughout the ward this season, including the 48th Ward Halloween Parade, the Margate Park Pumpkin Patch, and other local family events. You can also volunteer to help out as a trick-or-treat crossing guard on Halloween night.
Our community is a safer and more vibrant place when we all come together to have fun and celebrate! We look forward to seeing you throughout the ward this season.
Yours in Community,
