🎃👻 Halloween Fun in Gilbertville! 👻🎃

Trick-or-Treating in Gilbertville will be from 5:00–7:00 PM on October 31st!

Grab your costumes, bring your candy buckets, and join the spooky fun around town — it’s always a great time to see our community all dressed up! 👻🍬

And the fun doesn’t stop there…
After trick-or-treating, keep the party going at The Dew Drop and The Tenth Inning!
🎱 The Dew Drop — FREE pool starting at 9:00 PM
🎤 The Tenth Inning — Karaoke kicks off at 9:00 PM

The best part? Both are hop, skip, and a jump away, so you can bounce back and forth and enjoy a little bit of everything!

It’s going to be a frightfully fun night in Gilbertville — we can’t wait to see everyone out celebrating! 🕸️🧡

We’re sad to share that Gilbertville Days 2026 has been canceled due to circumstances outside of our control. We know this event is a highlight of the summer for many, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 💛

But don’t worry — we’ll be back and better than ever in 2027! 🎉
Mark your calendars for July 16th & 17th, 2027. This is going to be an event you don't want to miss.

Thank you for your patience and for being part of what makes our community great. 💙

Just a reminder of the upcoming Gilbertville Days meeting on Tuesday, September 16th, 5:00 PM at the Dew Drop. The current committee will be stepping back. We're so grateful for their years of dedication, and now we’re looking for new volunteers to step up and help lead the planning for future events. The current committee has great notes and contact information to share.

If you’re interested in getting involved or learning more, we invite you to join. This is a great opportunity to bring your ideas, connect with neighbors, and help keep Gilbertville Days going strong!

Even though the weather tried to steal the show, our amazing community made sure the spirit (and fun) stayed high. This year’s event was a wonderful success, filled with fun, community spirit, and great memories — and it couldn’t have happened without your support.
As we look to the future, we also want to share that our current committee will be stepping back.
