The Halloween spirit is alive and well across Okmulgee County as families prepare for a full week of community events filled with candy, costumes, and fall fun. From downtown trick-or-treating to church-hosted festivals, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

– Henryetta Main Street Trick or Treat Oct. 31 • 3:30-5 p.m. Downtown Henryetta will transform into a Halloween wonderland as the Henryetta Chamber of Commerce partners with local businesses for the annual Main Street Trick or Treat. Children and families are invited to dress up and stroll along Main Street, collecting candy and treats from participating storefronts. The event provides a safe and festive environment for families to enjoy Halloween right in the heart of town.

Immediately following the downtown festivities, families can continue the fun at Henryetta First United Methodist Church, located at 1212 Lake Road, where volunteers will host a cheerful Trunk or Treat. Decorated vehicles, friendly faces, and plenty of candy will be waiting for trick-or-treaters in the church parking lot. It’s a great opportunity for children to fill their bags and for families to connect with others in the community. Call 918-652-4452 for more information.
