Huntwick Fall Happy Hour!

Join the Huntwick Civic Association and your neighbors for the August Huntwick Happy Hour on November 3rd!

Huntwick Clubhouse (5300 Coral Gables)
6pm – 8pm

We’ll be serving up beer, wine, and a signature witches brew cocktail!

We’ll also have a chili bar with all the fixin’s, so you won’t need to skip dinner to come sip with us. 

Get one last use out of your Halloween costume or come dressed in your best flannels and fall attire (even if it doesn’t feel particularly autumnal outside quite yet). 

There’s a $10 cost at the door to get in to help offset the price of the drinks, so don’t forget to bring cash!

Community Event: Trick or Treat at Painted Tree Boutiques

This isn’t a Huntwick Forest event, but it is a great chance to let your kiddos get some extra use out of their costumes right in our community!

The Painted Tree Boutiques in Champions (5407 Cypress Creek Parkway) will be hosting a pet and kid-friendly trick or treating event on October 21st from 12pm – 3pm. While the kids fill up on sweet treats, you can shop for some holiday decor while supporting local businesses. That’s a win-win-win!

Huntwick Forest will also be hosting it’s own Halloween event on October 28th at 5pm. We’ll have games, face painting, crafts, and more! Bring your chairs and blankets to enjoy a family friendly movie at dusk!
