Wichita after dark has entered its villain era. 👻 Haunted islands. Cornfields you willingly walk into at night. Horror movies on a 60-foot dome. Rocky Horror in an airplane hangar. Halloween parties.

Whether you want full-on jump scares or just an excuse to put on a costume and stay out past your bedtime, Wichita has plenty of ways to make spooky season a little less kid-friendly. 🎃 See where to get scared, weird and appropriately festive this Halloween: bit.ly/4i778sG #VisitWichita #SlightlyOffCenter #WichitaKS #HalloweenInWichita #ThingsToDoInWichita

The Air Capital of the World is about to get a lot louder. ✈️ The Frontiers in Flight Air Show returns to McConnell Air Force Base Oct. 24-25 with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, fighter jets, tankers, vintage aircraft, parachute teams, aerobatic performers and enough aviation hardware to make looking up feel mandatory.

Zero admission. ✈️ See what to expect at Frontiers in Flight: bit.ly/4y9cbO3 #VisitWichita #SlightlyOffCenter #AirCapitalOfTheWorld #FrontiersInFlight #WichitaKS #Aviation

Come hungry. Leave with a much longer list of favorite things. The Wichita Asian Festival returns Oct. 17 for one packed night of food, music, dance, art, vendors and cultural traditions from across Asia. And yes, the food is a very good reason to go.
