DAVIDSON COUNTY — Pumpkins are popping up on porches, costumes are being stitched together, and Halloween celebrations are taking shape across Davidson County.

Lexington’s “Halloween Is Coming!” Emphasizes Safe Fun
On Friday, October 31, the Banks & Miller American Legion Post #255, located at 1 Arthur Drive in Lexington, will transform into a hub for Halloween activities. The free community event — themed “Halloween Is Coming!” — runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and offers an alternative, safe space for children to enjoy the holiday.
Presented by Anything for Our Youth Group in partnership with the Legion, the event will include free food, candy, games, music, dancing, and a costume contest. Organizers encourage families to “come dressed in costume and ready for fun.”
Book-O-Ween Encourages Reading With a Literary Twist

Costumes based on favorite book characters are encouraged, blending education with Halloween excitement.
Downtown Lexington Keeps the “Boo Bash” Tradition Alive
Meanwhile, downtown Lexington will celebrate Halloween night with local businesses offering candy, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities. In past years, the area around the Davidson County Courthouse has drawn crowds of costumed families taking photos and trick-or-treating among shops and restaurants.
City officials remind residents to use caution while walking downtown and to follow traffic detours during evening hours.
Community Celebrations Bring Communities Together
Halloween events across Davidson County continue a long-standing tradition of safe, community-driven celebrations. With options ranging from rural festivals to city-center gatherings, organizers say this year’s festivities are designed to bring residents together after what has been a busy fall season.
