? Haunted Trunk Zone or Haunted Pop-Up Tent Zone
Want to bring the scares to the Klickitat County Harvest Festival? Our Haunted Zone is the place for you!
Unlike our family-friendly Trunk or Treat area, the Haunted Zone is specifically for participants who want to create a spooky, scary, or interactive Halloween experience.
Choose the setup that works best for you:
Haunted Trunk Zone — Decorate your vehicle or trunk and transform it into a spooky experience.
Haunted Pop-Up Tent Zone — Bring a pop-up tent and create a walk-up or walk-through haunted experience. This is a great option if you need more room for decorations, props, or scare actors.
Participants in the Haunted Zone may include scare actors, jump scares, spooky props, sound effects, and scarier decorations.
Please keep in mind: This is still a community event attended by families and children. Displays should be Halloween scary and fun. No weapons, inappropriate/adult content, or excessively graphic/gory displays.
Participants may hand out candy or other small giveaway items. No homemade food or treats are permitted. All edible items must be commercially produced and individually wrapped. Non-food options such as stickers, pencils, mini toys, and other small goodies are encouraged.
⏰ Check-In & Setup: 1:00–2:30 PM

All participants must be completely set up and ready by 3:00 PM and remain in their assigned area through 5:00 PM.
