Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) is brewing up a cauldron of trick-or-treating fun for junior True Blue fans with some “spooktacular” Halloween-themed activities on Tuesday, Oct. 28 and Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Trick or Treat on Greek Row
The public is invited to bring their children ages 12 and younger to participate in the free Trick or Treat on Greek Row from 5 – 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, in front of the sorority houses at Rutherford Boulevard and Alumni Drive on campus.
Park in the Rutherford Boulevard lot across the street and there is no charge for parking or participation in the Halloween activities. There is a crosswalk where families can safely access campus by foot.
Party in the Grove
Traditional tailgating and pregame festivities for the football match between the MTSU Blue Raiders and Jacksonville State University Gamecocks on Wednesday, Oct. 29, will have a Halloween twist as part of Party in the Grove on campus.
Held in Walnut Grove, an open green space between Peck Hall and the Cope Administration Building, the family-friendly Party in the Grove will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Come early to participate in the pregame Raider Walk and cheer on the football team as they head to Floyd Stadium.
The free activities will include a “mechanical pumpkin ride,” bounce houses, face painting and caricatures, airbrushed long-sleeve tees and wax hand making — a creepy keepsake from this “spooktacular” event.
Along with candy and tailgating, food trucks will be on site. Activities are offered free of charge and open to the public. The party winds down 45 minutes before kickoff, which is set for 6:30 p.m.
MT Athletics festivities at Floyd
Starting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, MTSU Athletics will host its annual Trick or Treat event through the end of the first quarter of the game.
There will be a Halloween costume contest, and kids 12 and younger who arrive in costume will get in free. There will also be trick-or-treating on the concourse.
Activities will take place inside Floyd Stadium on the upper north end zone concourse, right next to the Family Fun Zone and overlooking the field just outside the new Smith Student-Athlete Performance Center.
