Where to get your Halloween fix in Louisville this weekend

While many things were canceled due to COVID-19, there are still some socially-distanced Halloween events happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Halloween will no doubt look different this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the holiday is by no means canceled this year. 

There are several events happening in Louisville this weekend that are sure to get you in a spooky mood. These events were created with social distancing in mind, so you can feel safe while still having fun.

Thomas Haunted Car Wash

Thomas Car Wash is hosting a haunted car wash on Friday and Saturday night from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Characters from some of the scariest horror tales will guide you through the car wash. 

Tickets are $20 per car and can be purchased at the event. 20% of the proceeds will go toward the Bluegrass Center for Autism.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, guests must stay in their car the entire time and all of the characters will have masks on. The company said this event is more about the spooky experience than getting your car squeaky clean, "so please set your expectations accordingly."
