Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse in East Fairmount Park holds this year's Barely Scary Halloween on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 3 to 6 pm. The event page dedicates the afternoon to David N. Pincus (1926-2011), a local philanthropist, art collector and great friend and supporter of Smith who aimed to put a smile on every child's face, and credits the Pincus Family Foundation, a private foundation focused on children and families, including play and recreation, with making it possible. The page also links photos of Smith's past Halloween events. Smith's 2026 page does not list the afternoon's activities, an admission fee, registration or a rain plan, so check smithplayground.org before going. Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse is at 3500 Reservoir Drive in East Fairmount Park.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Address from Smith's plan-your-visit page (read in an earlier pass). Billy Penn (lead) describes a free costume party with pumpkin carving and s'mores; not confirmed on Smith's page, so not stated.
