Admin Michaels is running a second free Halloween event for kids this month — distinct from the October 24 chenille-stem craft. This Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10 AM to noon local time, stores host Lil’ Witching Hours: Halloween Fest, a free in-store party for kids ages 4 and up.
Per the official class listing, the fest packs in crafts, games, giveaways, and trick-or-treating — all free, with supplies included for the craft projects. It’s part of Michaels’ seasonal Halloween programming and runs at stores nationwide, though exact times can vary by location. Kids get to make something and take it home, and the trick-or-treating element makes it more of a mini party than a standard craft session.
Registration usually isn’t required for these events — most are drop-in — but signing up ahead of time on the Michaels classes page can help secure your spot, since supplies are limited and popular time slots fill. A quick check of your local store’s event schedule before you go is the smart move.
How to join
- Check the Michaels classes page for Lil’ Witching Hours: Halloween Fest and select your store to confirm the time (10 AM–noon at most stores).
- Optionally register ahead of time to secure your spot — supplies are limited.
- Show up on Saturday, October 17 with the kids (ages 4+) and join the crafts, games, giveaways, and trick-or-treating.
- Take the finished crafts home — everything’s free, no purchase needed.
The fine print, plainly: free event, no purchase necessary; all craft supplies included. Times can vary by store, so confirm with your local Michaels. Registration isn’t usually required but is recommended since supplies are limited. Parents should plan to stay with younger children.
