Apex Geek and Grub Market (Halloween Edition)

Triangle Game Night is bringing back their Halloween market at Optimist Farm in Apex, and this year it's bigger and spookier than ever. Spread across 40+ acres, the event features a free haunted hayride that becomes the Horror Hayride after dark, plus special guests and attractions throughout the grounds. Families can enjoy vendor shopping, food options from Sheila's Aussie Bakery and True North Poutine, and nonalcoholic beverages at the Geek Tavern. The venue offers free parking and is handicap accessible with accessible restrooms on site. Kids will love the free gift from the Geek Treasure Chest at the HQ Booth, and families can participate in a scavenger hunt by finding eight event-themed items scattered around the market to earn a prize and spin on the prize wheel. There's also a Geektastic Giveaway where you can earn tickets through vendor purchases, the HQ Booth, or the scavenger hunt—redeem them at 1 pm or 4 pm for chances to win prizes. No ticket is required to attend, so just show up and enjoy exploring this family-friendly Halloween adventure.
