Love Halloween? Great. You will have lots of neighborhood events to chose. Below is a list of fun stuff to do, which I will add to throughout the week. Start planning now, so that you won't miss a thing.
*First thing first. By now, you have probably heard of the Costume Karaoke and Parade in Carroll Park next week-end. Both events are organized by Friends of Carroll Park, the volunteer organization that keeps our neighborhood park looking great.
Costume Karaoke, Saturday, Oct 29, 6:00 - 9:00. Come on your way to your next costume event and belt out some of your favorite tunes. This was a really fun time last year, despite the cold, and we were treated so some truly wonderful local talent. We're hoping for warmer weather this year, but we'll have hot apple cider to wet the whistle and maybe some snacks. Will post a confirmation of the hours once we've locked in the excellent dee-jay we had last year!
The Carroll Park Kids' Halloween Parade! Sunday, Oct 30, gather at 12:30 at the park, parade at 1:00 up Smith Street to Degraw and back on Court Street. This event is always a hit and is led by the park's playground associate, Kathleen Henderson. Noisemakers for the first 200 kids who arrive!
