Piedmont Triad International Airport is inviting area families to put on their costumes and bring out their sweet tooths this week for an early Halloween celebration inside the main terminal.
It’s a tough time for some federal transportation security employees who aren’t getting paid due to the federal government shutdown, but that’s not stopping the airport from offering family-friendly Halloween festivities to anyone who wants to come out.
The event is set for Thursday, Oct. 30, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and PTI staff is promising a couple of hours of treats and laughter – along with plenty of Halloween-themed fun.
The gathering is free and open to the public. While the event is free, the airport will still be charging for parking. In short-term parking that will run you $3 for an hour and half. Hopefully, at least that amount in free candy can be made up for during that time.
Those going should enter the terminal through door number 4 on the departure level and start at the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority office before making their way to the festivities.
Airport officials say costumes are welcome, and candy will be provided for all ages.
Tenants from across the airport will be joining in the celebration – so families can expect plenty of stops along the way to fill up a bag.
The airport’s location at 1000 Ted Johnson Parkway in Greensboro makes it accessible for families across the Triad, and airport leaders see events like this as a way to connect with the community beyond just offering airline service.
Great idea, come see and visit our fantastic airport. Free treats! Don’t forget to pay for parking? Parking will pay for the cost of the treats. Yes, ticket enforcement team will most likely be out in force. No thanks!

Has the airport done anything for the Federal workers that are not being paid?
YES they have per the news tonight! Congratulations on a job well done! Still allow free parking to drop off items, please.

i luv the halloween fohtoe u leed with scott
Still need that $3 in parking, huh? No wonder we locals have no love for our airport.
that $3 collected won’t even cover the salary paid to the person that picks up & disposes of the trash thoughtlessly/deliberately discharged by parking users. use mass transit to get to our fine airport. part etc serves it & safely store your wheels @ home.
You are kidding, right? PART doesn’t even have regular service to our airport, it has to be scheduled in advance. Fare would be $3.00 *per person* and would take two extra hours to travel there and back. No thanks.
bwaa haa ha ! all these guvmnt/utility formed transporters should just QUIT & let the existing gig worker ‘uber’, ‘taxi’ move people & stuff from door to door & centrally coordinate it with AI. one phone call does it all with no cash exchange. periodic inspect vehicles n drivers. no mo’ big buses holding up big traffick no mo’ !
