Get ready to bone up on some fun, Northeast Louisiana! It’s time to gather your creativity, and family-friendly spookiest ideas because the 3rd Annual Skeletons on Tower is creeping back into town. This beloved event isn’t just about getting your scare on—it’s a fundraiser supporting ARCO, A Community Resource, and the Children’s Museum of Northeast Louisiana. And trust us, this year’s skeleton crew is shaping up to be the best yet!

Here’s how it works: businesses and individuals can sponsor and decorate their skeletons, turning Tower Drive into a parade of Halloween spirit. Whether you go big with a towering twelve-foot skeleton or stick with a more modest five-footer, there’s a sponsorship level for everyone. Imagine your creation standing proudly in the lineup, drawing oohs and aahs from passersby as they admire your handiwork. And the best part? All the money raised goes to support two incredible community resources.


FIND YOUR FAMILY FUN AT THIS FREE WALK OR DRIVE-THRU EVENT! 


The stakes are high with sponsorship options ranging from $200 for a single five-foot skeleton to $2,000 for a show-stopping twelve-footer. Want to up the ante? Gather your crew and go in for four five-footers at $600, or keep it cozy with two for $400. Each allocated space will have a sponsor sign, so spectators will know you care! Whatever you choose, know that your creativity will light up the streets (and social media!) as everyone drives through to marvel at the spooky spectacle. 

But wait, there's more! This year's photo-op is bound to be a hit with its Beetlejuice theme at Center Stage in the Gazebo. Picture this: your family decked out in costume, snapping photos with a spooky but friendly backdrop that’s straight out of the afterlife. It’s Instagram gold and a memory you’ll treasure forever.

The winner is William Levie! Congratulations and we can't wait to share pictures of their decorated skeleton!
