Families looking for an indoor alternative to unpredictable October weather on Halloween weekend have a free option this year: Candy Jam, a community event running from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, October 30 at the Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds.
Organizers are offering candy, bounce houses, games, and hotdogs — all at no charge. The indoor setting is a deliberate hedge against Montana fall weather, which has a habit of turning on trick-or-treaters at the worst possible moment. The fairgrounds location gives families plenty of room to move around without worrying about wind chill or an early snowstorm cutting the evening short.
The event is free and open to the community. No registration details were listed in advance, so residents can plan to show up at the fairgrounds on October 30 between 6 and 9 p.m.
