Odessa families have a new reason to gather this weekend as Music City Mall announces a free “Malloween” celebration on Monday, Oct. 29. The event will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the mall’s location at the intersection of 42nd Street and JBS Parkway.
Organizers describe Malloween as a community‑focused evening that blends the fun of a fall festival with the excitement of Halloween. Attendees can expect a safe, family‑friendly atmosphere where children can enjoy treats and activities without any admission charge.
One of the highlights of the evening will be a candy table set up by the First Alert 7 team. The station’s representatives will be stationed outside the mall’s main entrance, offering free candy to kids who stop by. This gesture underscores the station’s ongoing commitment to community outreach and public safety education in the Odessa area.
Music City Mall, a long‑standing shopping destination in the city, frequently hosts events that bring neighbors together. Past gatherings have included holiday markets, back‑to‑school fairs, and local charity drives. The Malloween event continues that tradition, providing a venue for families to connect, celebrate the season, and enjoy a brief respite from daily routines.
Because the event is free and open to the public, there is no need to register or purchase tickets. Parents are encouraged to arrive early to secure a good spot, especially if they plan to bring younger children who may be eager for the candy table. The mall’s ample parking facilities at the 42nd and JBS Parkway site should accommodate visitors comfortably.
Community leaders and local businesses have expressed support for the Malloween celebration, noting that such events strengthen neighborhood ties and promote a sense of shared identity.
