San Antonio – The spookiest night of the year is arriving, and KSAT wants the community to showcase its Halloween spirit. Residents can submit photos and videos of their costumes, decorations, and creative displays through the KSAT Connect platform for a chance to be highlighted on The Nightbeat, Good Morning San Antonio, and KSAT’s online channels.
How to Participate
Submitting your Halloween highlights is simple. Open the KSAT News app, the KSAT Weather Authority app, or visit the KSAT Connect website. On the app, tap the hamburger icon in the top‑left corner, select “KSAT Insider,” and then choose “KSAT Connect.” Once on the KSAT Connect page, click the orange “upload pin” button. You will be prompted to log in or create a KSAT Insider account if you do not already have one.
After signing in, click the orange “upload pin” again, then select the blue “choose a file” button to upload your photo or video. Choose the appropriate channel and category, add a brief description of your submission, and finish by clicking the orange “upload” button at the bottom right of the screen.
Community Involvement
The call for entries comes as FirstDay Foundation employees kick off a week‑long Halloween celebration that includes a pumpkin‑decorating contest. The foundation’s staff is eager to see how neighbors across San Antonio are embracing the holiday, from classic monster costumes to inventive family themes.
KSAT’s coverage will feature a selection of the most creative and festive submissions throughout the weekend. Selected entries will appear on the station’s morning and evening broadcasts, as well as on KSAT’s digital platforms, giving local families a chance to share their holiday joy with a wider audience.
About KSAT and Its Local Reach
KSAT has been a trusted source of news, weather, and community information for the San Antonio area for decades. The station’s digital tools, including the KSAT Connect platform, make it easy for residents to interact directly with the newsroom and have their stories told.
Christian Riley, who joined KSAT 12 in June 2025 after serving as senior digital producer at an NBC affiliate in mid‑Missouri, highlighted the importance of community participation. Riley noted that “sharing local traditions like Halloween helps strengthen the bonds that make San Antonio such a vibrant place to live.”
