Hurricanes canceled last year’s Halloween event at the St. Pete Youth Farm, but since then, the farm has experienced significant growth—beyond crops.

It’s now a monthly open mic spot, hosted mental and physical health and crafting workshops, and added a commercial bread oven that comes with its own breadmaking classes. Most recently, a repurposed shipping container from the county and Creative Pinellas gave the farm more space for programs including a bike repair workshop, substance abuse prevention, NOMAD art and mental health for youth ambassadors.

The family-friendly Farm-o-Ween includes a haunted greenhouse, candy, food, music, games and costumes. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

There is no cover for Farm-o-Ween happening Friday, Oct. 31 at St. Pete Youth Farm.
