Don't get scared ... but First Friday October is gonna be super awesome.

🧪⚡ IT’S TIIIIIME, KOKOMO! ⚡🧪

The annual Post Party is taking over downtown Kokomo on Friday, Oct. 2 and this year, we’re going BIGGER, BETTER and a little more MAD than ever before. 👀

The Kokomo Post & Solidarity Community Federal Credit Union proudly present:

THE 2026 POST PARTY:
THE MAD LAB: A POTION COMMOTION!

Get ready for an EXPLOSION of entertainment, hands-on experiences, experiments, surprises and so much more.

And this year… WE’RE TAKING OVER TWO STREETS IN DOWNTOWN KOKOMO! 🤯

And yes... we heard you.

For the first time ever, we’re dedicating an entire street to the BIG KIDS… aka the adults!

One street will be packed with curated vendors, unique experiences, DIY workshops and entertainment created with the adults in mind.

The other street will be overflowing with the family-friendly activities, interactive experiences, trick-or-treating and fun you’ve come to know and love at the Post Party with even MORE to experience this year.

But trust us when we say… we’re just getting started with the announcements. This year, the Showmobile Stage is going to be ROCKING like never before. We’ve been keeping a pretty BIG secret about what’s happening on that stage…

Any guesses? 👀

We’re revealing it TOMORROW!

And before the madness begins, we have to give a HUGE thank you to our incredible title partner, Solidarity Community Federal Credit Union. Their support and partnership helps us continue to be able to bring our community the BIGGEST and BEST Halloween community event in the 'Mo!

So mark your calendars:
