Haunted Island returns to Credit Island for Halloween fun and fright

Davenport Parks and Recreation invites the community to celebrate spooky season at Haunted Island on Saturday, Oct. 24, at Credit Island Park, 2200 W. River Drive, according to a news release.

Admission is free, with donations encouraged to support Scott County Special Olympics and
Davenport Parks and Recreation’s scholarship programming.

Haunted Island offers a full day of festive frights and fun for all ages. The festivities kick off with a free, family-friendly Halloween Bash during the day, followed by a spooky movie under the stars in the evening.

A Not-So-Scary Halloween Bash will be held from noon until 5 p.m. Join the Davenport Junior Theatre for a frightfully fantastic afternoon of Halloween fun along the Mississippi River. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite costume and enjoy activities like a candy maze, games, haunted house, petting zoo, bounce houses, and more.

Scary Movie in the Park, 6-10 p.m. As the sun sets, the real scares begin. Davenport Parks and Recreation will host Scary Movie in the Park, recommended for ages 13 and older. After five weeks of community voting in the department’s October Madness Movie Bracket on social
media, the winner is the original "Halloween" (1978, rated R), starring Jamie Lee Curtis. In addition to the movie, attendees can also expect to enjoy playing yard games and food trucks.

In case of rain, cancellations will be announced by 3 p.m. on the day of the
event.
