Downtown Monroe is coming to life, or should we say 'back to life,' as Halloween Happenings and Circle S Ranch's Turkey Smoke BBQ competition return to Main Street on Saturday, October 18, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Main Street will be packed with activities for all ages, including arts and crafts, games, a gaming truck, bounce houses, vendors from The Faded Rose, and opportunities to win prizes. The popular costume contest kicks off at 1 p.m., and families are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite spooky or seasonal look.
At the same time, the Circle S Ranch's Turkey Smoke BBQ competition will fire up as teams compete for cash prizes and trophies. Up to 30 teams can register, and visitors can enjoy complimentary samples while cheering on competitors. Register for the Turkey Smoke online.
