Halloween At Frosted Flamingo

Frosted Flamingo’s Becca Spiro will be hosting her first Halloween event in her business’s new home on Airport Road this Halloween. She said she was looking to have a midday activity for families because there’s no school on Oct. 31. 

The event will go from 2-8 p.m. and feature crafts like spooky glasses and face painting. From 2-5 p.m. the event is open to all ages, and from 5-8 p.m. it is just for adults. 

“I’m going to have professional face and body painting for anybody who wants to get serious (and) really level up their Halloween game,” she said. 

She said the professional body painter she’s bringing in is known for creating realistic scales and tire marks, noting it might even help you win your friend’s Halloween costume contest. 

Tickets range from around $23 to around $65 and can be found at TinyURL.com/FFHalloween2025.
