Jack-O-Lantern Jaunt & Halloween Haunt, Mukwonago

October 18 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$2 – $3

Jack-O-Lantern Jaunt & Halloween Haunt, Mukwonago is BACK in 2025!! The Jaunt/Haunt returns to Field Park in Mukwonago as in years past on Friday, October 17 and Saturday, October 18 from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm each day.

Returning for its 22nd run, the Jack-O-Lantern Jaunt/Halloween Haunt has grown to be the communities premier family event of the season. Organizers have expanded the attactions in the park over the years, opting for decorations that are suitable for even the youngest visitors.

Since its inception, the Jaunt has kept its admission prices low as to encourage large families to attend. Even with these low prices, the Jaunt has donated thousands of dollars to local charities. This year proceeds will go to the Mukwonago Flex Farm Hydroponics Tower project. The hydroponic growing system, developed by Wisconsin company Fork Farm has already been used to grow multiple crops of fresh salad greens and basil used for lunches. Located in the service area of Mukwonago High School, the system will allow food to be produced “from seed to plate” and will provide students with learning opportunities through the school year.

For 2 nights, the paths of the park will be lit up by hundreds of carved pumpkins. Local businesses, groups, organizations and individuals supply the jack-o-lanterns and create the displays. Anyone is welcome to bring carved pumpkins on October 18 from

Noon to 5 p.m. Tea lights will be provided but everyone is asked to set up their own display. If you wish to keep your pumpkin display, please pick it up at 9:30 P.M. SHARP!!

The Jaunt/Haunt will proceed rain or shine, so dress accordingly.

Rotary Club Halloween Haunt:

The venue is family friendly; it is the first haunted house a lot of the little ones go to, and no one wants them to see mommy & daddy cry.

Walk in Movie:

Ion writer/director Christopher R. Mihm’s ode to the “teensploitation” films of the 1950’s, three female juvenile delinquents obtain a firearm and just for the fun of it, start robbing the fine folks of New Berlin.

The entire event is planned and staffed by local volunteers, with all proceeds from this year’s Jaunt/Haunt staying in our community to fund the many causes supported by the Rotary Club of Mukwonago. Presenting sponsors of this year’s event are the Rotary Club of Mukwonago and Citizens Bank.

About:

The Jack-O-Lantern Jaunt was started in 2003 by Joline Palatino and Linda Forster, local sisters who wanted to raise money to replace the roof on the Red Brick Museum in Mukwonago. The Jaunt later teamed up with the Rotary Club of Mukwonago’s Halloween Haunt. Together the events have raised thousands of dollars for many causes in the area.

*Please dress for the weather as the event will not be cancelled due to rain.
