Annual Kiwanis Parktacular Every October
Our signature service event is Buffalo Kiwanis Parktacular that his held the Saturday proceeding Halloween each year. Parktacular is a free event and is sponsored and coordinated by the Buffalo Kiwanis, but, features booths and activities from many area organizations and groups. It's a great and safe way for children to "Trick or Treat" and is undoubtedly the largest Halloween event in the area. Parktacular also features family fun like the hay maze, spook house, and games for the little ones. In 2013 we had over 2,500 people in attendance at Parktacular. We're always looking for extra help, more booths and new events for Parktacular. Come join in on the fun!
