Returning for its 23rd run, the Jack-O-Lantern Jaunt/Halloween Haunt has grown to be the communities premier family event of the season. Organizers have expanded the attactions in the park over the years, opting for decorations that are suitable for even the youngest visitors.

Since its inception, the Jaunt has kept its admission prices low as to encourage large families to attend. Even with these low prices, the Jaunt has donated thousands of dollars to local charities.

This year proceeds will go to the Mukwonago Community Library renovation. Annual visits have grown by more than 60% since 2020 and the use of our meeting rooms has nearly doubled since 2019. We are proactively responding to these changes across the entire building. A redesigned park entrance with family restrooms will welcome families who flock to the park behind the library. A larger Metaspace 511 will give the popular makerspace room to grow. New teen and children's areas, additional study, meeting rooms, and improved staff spaces are part of the renovation.

For 2 nights, the paths of the park will be lit up by hundreds of carved pumpkins. Local businesses, groups, organizations and individuals supply the jack-o-lanterns and create the displays. Anyone is welcome to bring carved pumpkins on October 18 from

Noon to 5 p.m. Tea lights will be provided but everyone is asked to set up their own display. If you wish to keep your pumpkin display, please pick it up at 9:30 P.M. SHARP!! 

The Jaunt/Haunt will proceed rain or shine, so dress accordingly.
