What does a maniacal pizza party, puppet shows, Narnia, astronauts, and trains all have in common? All of those and more are included in our Weekend Roundup below – an especially full Halloween version we might add.

We couldn’t fit all of the free & fun events, so keep in mind lots more are on our Event Calendar. If you haven’t already downloaded the free Rocket City Mom app, this is a great time to do it – it’s another great way to keep all this info at your fingertips on the go!

Unfortunately, it does look like rain on Saturday, so we’ve whipped up a list of awesome places to Trick-or-Treat Indoors on Halloween.
