Orlando's Audubon Park Garden District throws Zombietoberfest each October, a free Halloween street party that's well over a decade old and still a neighborhood affair. Vendor tents and beer gardens line the Corrine Drive corridor near East Winter Park Road while a DJ plays, and there are separate costume contests for humans and dogs. Recent editions have spread across a weekend. Saturday evening is the family program: Kidstoberfest runs early evening at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, followed by a free Halloween concert in the sanctuary. Around 8 p.m. a movie screens outdoors on the Little League field behind Redlight Redlight, so bring a blanket. Sunday is the craft market the organizers call the Daywalker Market, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with parking at Audubon Park K-8 School on Falcon Drive. It's billed as all ages, and getting in is free. Anything sold on site, food and drink included, costs money.
More in October: 12 other Orlando events.
Besides the Audubon Park K-8 School lot, you can park in Alley No. 3 behind Redlight Redlight or on the streets near the businesses, so watch the posted signs. LYNX routes 13 and 313 run through the district.
Places worth a stop in the same town.
