City of Sunrise Trick or Trot 5K and Kids' Dash
Costume-friendly 5K and kids' dash benefiting paralyzed veterans.
43 family-friendly fall activities in Sunrise and nearby.
Sunrise families can experience Halloween in different ways. If you want a dedicated run for all ages, the Trick or Trot 5K is an option, while the Hollyweird Halloween Festival offers a larger, more elaborate celebration in a neighboring city.
Many events focus on younger participants with trick-or-treating and themed activities, while some extend to evening festivities or are located just a short drive away, providing diverse ways to mark the season.

Pick costumes that survive walking, climbing hay bales, and a bathroom trip in under two minutes: no floor-length hems, no masks that block vision, and nothing that can't fit a jacket underneath. Sneakers always beat costume shoes. Add reflective tape for evening events, and pack a backup shirt because face paint, snow cones, and petting zoos will find white fabric.
The rule: animals, then handwash, then food, in that exact order, every time. Use the farm's wash stations rather than sanitizer alone when hands touch animals or fences, keep pacifiers and sippy cups in the bag near animals, and don't let kids eat inside the enclosure. Strollers stay outside pens. It's two minutes of routine that prevents the classic post-farm stomach bug.
Farm terrain is the challenge: grass, gravel, and rutted fields vary by venue and by how much rain fell that week. Call and ask about packed paths, accessible restrooms and parking, and whether the picking field has a firm route, since some farms bring pumpkins to a paved area on request. Festivals on fairgrounds or paved lots are the safer default.
