Although Halloween is still more than a week away, you can spread out the festivities starting with myriad events taking place this weekend:

  • The fun begins Saturday at Northgate Mall, where little ghouls, goblins and boo’tiful princesses are invited to the annual Simon Kidgits Halloween Bash. The event, from 1-3 p.m. Oct. 22 at Ben Bridge Court, is free for Simon Kidgits Club members; annual membership cost is $5 and is payable at the event or at Simon Guest Services near JCPenney. Activities include making spooky hand-print spiders, lollipop ghosts and a parade around the mall with the Radio Disney Road Crew.

  • If the little ones aren’t tired after that, head over to Olympic View Elementary School, 504 N.E. 95th St., for the sixth annual Olympic View Fall Carnival, from 3-7 p.m. Oct. 22 in the school’s gymnasium and parking lot. There will be food, games, prizes and crafts, plus pie-eating contests and a cakewalk. Family ticket packs are available in advance from the PTA or at the door.
  • On Sunday, Oct. 23, The Little Gym of Seattle, 7777 15th Ave. N.E., is opening its doors up to nonmembers from 5-6 p.m. for its annual Halloween party. Nonmembers are asked to donate at least $5 per child to treehouse4kids.com. Costumes are requested, as is preregistration by calling (206) 524-2623.
  • The festivities continue Halloween weekend at Northgate Community Center, 10510 Fifth Ave. N.E., which has a Twins & Triplets Costume & Play Party from 2-4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, followed by a Toddler Halloween Play Time from 5-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28. Both play times are for kids ages 6 months to 5 years, and will include trikes, scooters, bounce houses, balls and more along with a special Halloween treat. Twins & Triplets Costume & Play Party is specifically geared toward twins and triplets. Cost for each event is $3 per child.
  • If you’re willing to stray just outside Maple Leaf’s borders, Mystery Machine clued us in to the annual Licton Springs Halloween Party, from 4:30-6 p.m. on Halloween, Monday, Oct. 31, at Licton Springs Park, 9536 Ashworth Ave. N. Just as the sky begins to darken, children follow the paths around the wetland, which is full of adult “Friends of the Forest” holding jack-o-lanterns and giving candy treats to the trick-or-treaters. For more information, contact the Licton Springs Community Council.
  • Also on Halloween day, Maple Leaf community members are hoping to continue what would be the third annual Maple Leaf Parade of Costumes. Stay tuned and we’ll get you the details as soon as we have them. If you’d like to pencil it in, the event previously took place from 3-5 p.m. and was centered around the traffic circle at 12th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 91st Street. But Halloween is on Monday this year so the time could change.
  • And not to leave out the adults who still like to celebrate Halloween, This Charming Candy is hoping you’ll to stop by The Wandering Cafe, 7533 Lake City Way N.E., for “Grown-up Trick-or-Treating” from 4-7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31. Co-owner Susan Dziadosz writes: “How long has it been since you’ve personally knocked on someone’s door and exclaimed, ‘Trick or Treat!’ This Charming Candy knows you deserve a 10-minute treat, so we’re inviting kids of all ages to visit us in our lollipop kitchen. Everyone who stops by gets a free lollipop!”
