2025 Charities

This year’s Haunt Your House contest proudly supports Gig Harbor Peninsula FISH Food Bank and Community Services, a local nonprofit helping our neighbors with food, clothing, and essential assistance. In the spirit of giving, our “Overall Favorite” and “Scariest” winners chose to donate their prize money as well! Their work makes a real difference for families right here in our community.

This year’s “Most Creative” winners chose to support Gig Harbor Women’s Co‑op by donating their prize money to the organization. The Co-op is a volunteer-run nonprofit that empowers women in the Gig Harbor area through a time bank, mutual-aid services, and community support.

P.S. The fun's not over!

We’re already getting ready for our Let It Glow Holiday Lights Contest!

Choose your starting point to explore every spooky stop:

Option 1: Start in Gig Harbor North

Option 2: Start in Artondale

Or create your own route:
