Join us live on Halloween for a fun and festive virtual performance! Halloween with Silly Goose & Val is brought to you by award-winning musician and author Valerie Leonhart Smalkin as her gift to children who might be frightened by the rather odd holiday. Her song "Halloween" deals with friends wearing masks and pretending to be frightening, while "Dark-Light" explains that light always comes after the darkness and takes fears away. In between your child will walk, jump, hop to the Haunted House; dance with skeletons, witches, pumpkins, and goblins; meet the ghost who's afraid of Halloween; and help one little ghost learn who to boo!

Making last minute Halloween plans? Our streaming service Kanopy offers a vast selection of horror movies, both classic and modern. Instead of throwing a party, pull some friends into a group chat and count down to hit play at the same time.
