🎃👻 WE ROCK TWO YEARS — AND WE’RE CELEBRATING! 👻🎃
We’re getting ready for another spooktacular Halloween celebration at We Rock the Spectrum – Grand Rapids, and while this year’s event will look a little different, we are SO excited to celebrate with our community! 🧡

We’ll be honest… we were really hoping to bring back our BIG Trunk-or-Treat event this year. Unfortunately, between a larger event location falling through and having way too little time to plan an event of that size, we just couldn’t make it happen the way we wanted. 😭

But we didn’t want that to stop us from celebrating! So we’re going a little smaller this year, while still bringing ALL the fun! 🎃✨

🕷️ Saturday, October 24th, 2026
🎉 TWO FREE, SPONSORED OPEN PLAY EVENTS!
🕑 Party #1: 2:00–4:00 PM
🕟 Party #2: 4:30–6:30 PM

Families in our community are required to RSVP if interested! We hope you’ll join us for one of our two FREE celebrations!💚

And don’t worry… TRUNK-OR-TREAT WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR! 🎃🚗 We’re already looking forward to bringing back the big event our community loved so much!

For now, we’re just excited to celebrate TWO AMAZING YEARS IN BUSINESS with the families who have supported us, loved us, and helped make We Rock the Spectrum what it is today. 🥹💚
