In Des Moines, children 12 and younger can play challenge games and take part in activities at a Halloween Carnival from 5-8 p.m. at the Landmark on the Sound Event Center, 23660 Marine View Dr. S.

The cost is $5 per child and non-perishable food items will be accepted for the Des Moines Food Bank. Revenues fund the charitable activities of Masonic Outreach Services.
