The 2025 Halloween Party for the IDD Community was a night to remember. Held at the beautiful Farmers Market Pavilion in Eugene, the event brought together more IDD community members than ever before — the largest turnout in this event’s history. The pavilion was alive with laughter, music, and the joyful spirit of inclusion as families, friends, and supporters came together to celebrate Halloween in true community style.
Costumes and Creativity Everywhere
Creativity was on full display as guests arrived in a dazzling variety of costumes — from dinosaurs and jellyfish to chefs, superheroes, and even a few classic movie characters. Everywhere you looked, there were smiles, laughter, and the kind of excitement that only comes from celebrating together.
Fun, Games, and Activities
The venue buzzed with activity booths where guests painted pumpkins, played “Monster Match,” and got hands-on with crafts and treats. Tables were filled with color and creativity, and the bubble machine added an extra touch of magic to the air.
Dancing the Night Away
The dance floor was the heart of the celebration. With music ranging from ‘80s hits to favorite movie soundtracks, an incredible DJ kept the crowd moving all night long. She knew just how to read the room — blending nostalgic throwbacks, upbeat favorites, and personal song requests to keep the energy alive. The mix of flashing lights, laughter, and nonstop dancing made for unforgettable moments that perfectly captured the spirit of the night.
