2. Halloween Ghosts & Goodies at Crossroads Village

A true Genesee County tradition, Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad in Flint transforms into a Halloween wonderland every October.

It’s a must-visit for families and anyone who loves a blend of history and Halloween charm.


3. Davison Pumpkin Festival

Each October, the Davison Pumpkin Festival brings the community together for a weekend full of fall excitement. The event includes a parade, live music, food vendors, and, of course, all things pumpkin. Kids can participate in games and crafts, while adults can explore the local shops and enjoy the festive downtown atmosphere. It’s small-town Michigan at its best—warm, welcoming, and full of fall spirit.
