Tricks And Treats At The Fishery

Tricks and Treats at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center

ATHENS – Halloween at the Hatchery is Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center’s way of giving East Texas families a safe place to go trick-or-treating outdoors while raising money for local causes.

The outdoor venue will be decorated with a fright-free Halloween theme and feature family-friendly games and activities Thursday, Oct. 26, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Local businesses and organizations will hand out free candy from booths located on the center’s grounds.

Admission for Halloween at the Hatchery is $1 per person, and all proceeds will benefit local nonprofit organizations.

Trick-or-treaters can enter the event from three areas including the Visitor Center entrance, the bus and trailer parking lot gate, and the overflow parking lot gate. The overflow parking lot is close to the Anglers Pavilion and is on Peninsula Point Road.

On the day of the event, the TFFC will be open during regular business hours from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, and will reopen at 6:00 pm for this special event.

TFFC will not admit anyone between 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm and no pets are allowed. An adult must accompany minors.
