The “Costumes, Candy, and Cops Carnival” is a free annual event organized by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office as part of their “Community First” initiative.

This carnival is designed to strengthen community bonds by bringing together families, neighbors, and law enforcement for a day of fun, candy, and camaraderie. The event reflects the Sheriff’s Office’s ongoing commitment to fostering trust and positive relationships within the community they serve.

The carnival is held on the Friday before Halloween at the Benton County Fairgrounds, where the only thing scarier than a ghost is missing out on the fun! To find out how you can sponsor a trunk or game station, email public.relations@bentoncountyar.gov.
