Art, Activities, and a Car Lights Show

 

Art Out Loud Park is another stop on the Spooktacular route, with activities sponsored by volunteers from Activate Selma. The announcement doesn't list every activity, so families can look for posted information as the event approaches.

 

On Railroad Street, a car lights show organized by JD's Precision Detailing promises another visual attraction. The mix of vehicles, lights, and Halloween costumes should give visitors plenty to see as they explore downtown.

 

With several attractions spread across the district, the evening is as much about enjoying Selma's downtown community as it is about collecting candy.

 

When and Where to Go

 

The Halloween Spooktacular takes place on Friday, October 30, 2026, in downtown Selma, North Carolina. Event descriptions give the main activities as 6–8 p.m., while Activate Selma's calendar lists a 5 p.m. start at 114 N. Raiford Street. Visitors should confirm whether the earlier time is for gathering or the beginning of activities.

 

The event is advertised as free. Families should follow the event organizers' updates for final activity locations, timing, and any weather-related changes.

 

To plan your visit, see the Selma Halloween Spooktacular event page and the Activate Selma events calendar. You can also learn about the volunteer organization through Activate Selma's website.

 

Bring the family, wear a costume, and enjoy a little Halloween magic in downtown Selma. It's a festive way to support local businesses and spend an evening with neighbors.
