The Reverse Halloween Parade in Webster Groves is a COVID-19 conscious event that is a variation on a traditional Trunk or Treat. Area businesses, organizations and families can sign up to decorate their vehicle and dress up in costumes to hand out candy to trick or treaters who are being driven past in their own car. Participants are asked to open their trunk or hatch so that candy can be thrown in at they pass by.
Saturday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Memorial Park parking lot in Webster Groves.
If you're interested in providing treats, please visit webstergroves.org. Trick or treaters can just show up! There is no fee to participate. Sponsored by the Webster Groves Park and Rec Department.

The St. Louis African Arts Festival, held in Forest Park, celebrates the rich and diverse cultures of Africa and African people. Children's activities include storytelling, arts and crafts, mask-making and educational workshops. In conjunction with the festival, the Saint Louis Zoo will have special activities focused on a different African animal each day.
There are more than strawberries (but plenty of those too) at this festival! Kids can enjoy carnival rides, a petting farm, pony rides, the children's play area and lots more.
Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Sunday afternoon to participate in free hands-on art activities with fun themes and to explore the galleries. Each Family Sunday focuses on a different family-friendly theme.
See the Zoo's California sea lions perform acrobatic and athletic feats, including Olympic-style dives on a high-diving platform, flipper walks, frisbee tosses and plenty of surprises.
