Two nearby Halloween events close out the week for Brookfield families willing to drive a few minutes from town.

Scarrybrooke Haunted Trail at Harrybrooke Park in New Milford runs its final night on Friday, October 30, from 6 to 10 p.m. The trail, in its 13th year, is a walk through the park after dark run by volunteers from local nonprofits, including Boy Scout troops, the New Milford Lions Club, and the Knights of Columbus. Tickets are $38, and parking is at the Pettibone Community Center, 2 Pickett District Road in New Milford. The trail is billed as the longest walk-through haunted attraction in the state, and it is aimed at older children and adults rather than the youngest trick-or-treaters.

Saturday, October 31, Danbury hosts the 34th annual Halloween on the Green, free from 1 to 4 p.m. on the CityCenter Green. The daytime event is the family-friendly counterpart to Friday night's trail: an afternoon on the Green in the center of Danbury, timed for the day itself.

Both events pair well with Brookfield's own Halloween week at home: the Senior Center's Monster Mash party at noon on Thursday, Trick or Treat at Town Hall from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, and the Craft Center's Halloween Forged Skull session on Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For families planning the weekend, Friday night's trail and Saturday afternoon's Green event give two very different Halloween experiences within a short drive — one after dark, one in daylight.
