Event Parking

Event parking is being staged at the St. Helens Industrial Business Park behind the St. Helens Recreation Center at 1810 Old Portland Road. A shuttle service will take event attendees to and from the Spirit of Halloweentown event area.

The Riverfront Property is not being used for Spirit of Halloweentown parking this year due to active construction taking place for the Streets and Utilities Extension Project.
