šŸŽƒ Weekend Roundup | October 30 through November 1, 2026 Need plans that aren’t just eating the candy you bought for trick-or-treaters? Here are three events to check out around Rockford! šŸŽø Halloween Hijinks at Mary’s Place Friday, October 30 | 8 PM 602 N. Madison Street, Rockford Local musicians are taking the stage in ā€œmusical costume,ā€ performing songs from The Misfits, Against Me!, and Black Sabbath. Grab your costume and make a night of it. šŸ‘» Twisted Crypt Haunted House Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31 | 6:30 to 11 PM 5420 E. State Street, Rockford Fourteen rooms and more than 40 characters are waiting to test how brave you actually are. General admission is $20, and the haunt is recommended for ages 13 and older. Anyone 16 or younger must come with an adult. Bring that friend who keeps saying nothing scares them. šŸŽƒ Smashing Pumpkins at Discovery Center Museum Sunday, November 1 | 10:30 AM to 2 PM 711 N. Main Street, Rockford Your pumpkin’s work isn’t done yet! Bring it along and watch it fly from a real trebuchet, then enjoy bubble art, lawn games, and creative activities. The event is included with museum admission or membership. That’s one way to retire the Halloween decorations.
