“The Hobbit” Comes to Life for Halloween at Fairytale Town
My family is very excited about the theme for this year’s Safe and Super Halloween event at Fairytale Town! Do you have Hobbit fans at home, too? The park will be transformed into Middle Earth as the magical world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” comes to life for three nights of fun on October 25, 26 and 27.
You will be able to explore Bilbo Baggins’ hobbit hole, peek into the elven kingdom of Rivendell and journey to the Lonely Mountain.
There will be hands-on activities for the kids and a costume parade will occur nightly on the Mother Goose stage at 8:30pm.
Puppet Art Theater Company will perform “Winnie the Witch” in the Children’s Theater at 6, 7 and 8pm. In this blacklight puppet show, Winnie the witch loves Halloween, especially the candy. On her way to pick up sweets on Candy Island she discovers Willard the wizard trying to ruin Halloween by making the world’s candy supply taste like brussels sprouts. With the help of the audience and her trusty broomstick, Winnie must dodge dancing ghosts, batty bats and silly skeletons to save Halloween. (Tickets for the puppet show are $1 for Fairytale Town members and $2 for nonmembers.)
Besides all that…SEVENTEEN candy stations will be scattered throughout the park for trick-or-treaters to visit!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
