Free candy on the Lower Ramble Friday

Free, 4–6:30 PM on the Lower Ramble. Then Rogers' 42nd Goblin Candy Crawl Saturday, and the Hogs at 6:45.

7 picks

Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, so the candy starts Friday. Fayetteville turns the Lower Ramble into a trick-or-treat trail with 25+ candy stops Friday from 4 to 6:30, and Rogers runs its 42nd Goblin Candy Crawl downtown Saturday afternoon. Both are free. Then the Hogs host Missouri at 6:45.

🌦️ The week outside: Sunny and low 80s through Thursday. Friday afternoon looks mostly dry for the trail (rain chances climb after dark), and Saturday brings a good chance of showers and storms, so pack a rain plan for the afternoon crawls.
