DeWITT, N.Y. — Halloween at the Park, a new drive-thru event, is scheduled between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31 at Jamesville Beach Park.

Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon and Carrie Wojtaszek, COO of Syracuse–based Galaxy Media, announced the details on Tuesday.

Halloween at the Park is a collaborative effort from the same groups that create Lights on the Lake, Fright Nights, and Lights on Jacob Lane. The Halloween at the Park drive-thru celebrates Halloween in a “family-friendly COVID safe way,” per a news release about the event.

Visitors will follow a lighted path in their vehicle as they see festive Halloween-themed displays along the trail. It’ll include five thematic sections to drive through that will include large wooden structures and light displays, along with actors that will help the sections “come to life.”

“We are so proud to continue our partnership with Onondaga County,” Wojtaszek said. “We’re looking forward to creating a new family Halloween tradition that thousands of people from our community can enjoy each and every year.”

The price of admission will be $10 per car Sunday through Thursday and $15 per car Friday and Saturday.

In order to “ensure a contactless experience,” tickets need to be purchased in advance at www.Halloweenatthepark.com.

A limited number of vehicles will be allowed through the show each night. Visitors can log onto the website to buy their pre-sale pass for a specific date in October.

The Halloween at the Park entry is at the main gate of Jamesville Beach Park, located off Apulia Road in Jamesville.

“Onondaga County is proud to partner with Galaxy Media to present a new family friendly event,” McMahon said. “We know that families in our community are looking for safe things to do and we are excited that Galaxy Media and their partners are launching a new event at one of our great county parks.”

Dunkin’ Halloween at the Park is presented by the Summit Federal Credit Union and Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital. Halloween at the Park will be partnering with the Joy in Childhood Foundation.

Donations will be accepted on the event website. A suggested $5 donation will get your family’s name on a pumpkin yard sign that will be displayed at the end of the show as the event “strives to create CNY’s largest pumpkin patch.”
