Halloween has always been a big deal at River Landing at Sandy Ridge, and this year the community is going all out to celebrate. From candy and costumes to concerts and crafts, October will be packed with family-friendly fun that shows how much River Landing values time together. For both residents and team members, these events will be a chance to bring families into the community and create memories that make River Landing so special.
The month’s biggest night will come with the Fall Festival held outdoors in the courtyard. Families will enjoy trick or treating, pumpkin crafts, bounce houses, golf cart decorating and more. The courtyard will be filled with laughter, music and plenty of costumes as generations gather around bonfires and twinkling lights.
While the Fall Festival keeps the courtyard lively, the Monster Mash Dance will fill the multi-purpose room with music, dancing and plenty of treats. The dance floor will come alive with spooky tunes, tasty snacks and of course, candy. Residents and team members will show off their best moves and creative costumes, making the night truly unforgettable and a perfect example of how River Landing brings generations together.
On Halloween night, the community will host its much-loved costume contest. Residents will compete against residents, and team members will go head-to-head with colleagues from other departments. In past years, the Environmental Services team has sailed in as pirates, and the Human Resources team once dressed as different versions of Executive Director Tom Smith. This year will continue the tradition with plenty of creativity, laughter and a DJ spinning spooky hits while everyone enjoys festive snacks.
The fun will start even earlier in the month with a concert on October 14 featuring local band Tin Can Alley. Residents will gather outdoors in crisp fall weather to enjoy live music, drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The concert will set the tone for a festive month, bringing people together under the autumn sky before Halloween excitement takes center stage.
