Halloween is coming fast, and if you live in Inwood Park, you already know where the crowds are headed: Twisted Leaf Drive in Fairfield Village. For years, this tucked-away street has earned a reputation as Fairfield’s go-to Halloween destination, drawing in families from across the neighborhood — and even from beyond.

But with Halloween falling on Friday, October 31st, and clear skies in the forecast, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest and most memorable nights yet.

Why Twisted Leaf Drive Steals the Show

If you’ve ever driven through Twisted Leaf in late October, you’ve seen it — houses covered in cobwebs and glowing pumpkins, animatronics moving on front lawns, music playing, kids laughing. 

It’s not just curb appeal — it’s community tradition. Neighbors look forward to going all out, and local families mark it on their calendars. If you’re part of Inwood Park, this is your perfect excuse to stroll over and soak up the spirit.

What Inwood Park Residents Should Know

Whether you're staying home to hand out candy or taking your kids out to join the fun, here are a few helpful reminders to make the most of Halloween in Fairfield:

For Trick-or-Treaters & Families

• Start early. The action on Twisted Leaf ramps up just after sunset. Aim to head out between 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
• Walk, don’t drive. Parking will be tight. If you're visiting Twisted Leaf from Inwood Park or another section, walking over is easiest — and safest.
• Wear visible costumes. Bring glow sticks or flashlights. Twisted Leaf is well-decorated, but lighting can vary.
• Pack a jacket. The weather will be perfect early on, but it gets chilly later.

For Residents Staying In

• Expect extra visitors. Even if you’re a few streets over, you may see more foot traffic than usual.
• Keep sidewalks clear. Decorations are great — just make sure walkways are safe for strollers and little feet.
• Be a good neighbor. If your teens are heading out without you, remind them to stay respectful and keep it fun for younger kids.

Twisted Leaf Is for Everyone — Let’s Keep It Neighborly

What makes Fairfield special isn’t just one decorated street — it’s the sense of community that runs through neighborhoods like Inwood Park, Fairfield Village, and beyond. Halloween on Twisted Leaf isn’t an event with signs or vendors — it’s neighbors showing up for each other year after year, sharing a laugh, and handing out candy with pride.

So whether you’re handing out Kit Kats or trekking through the neighborhood with kids in tow, take a moment to appreciate how your community shows up — for the little things that turn into big memories.

Happy Halloween, Fairfield.
