Harrisburg residents are in for some spooky fun this Halloween season.
The City of Harrisburg announced it will host the first ever “Bash at the Brownstone” from 5-8 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Reservoir Park Brownstone building.
The event will feature pumpkin decorating, a reptile zoo, face painting, candy, and yard games. Refreshments and hot dogs will be available.
A costume contest for kids up to age 15 will be held at 6:15 p.m. Costumes will be judged by funniest, scariest, and most original categories in three different age groups: Kids ages 0-5 at 6:15 p.m.; ages 6-11 at 6:30 p.m.; and ages 12-15 at 6:45 p.m. Judging will be done by a panel of celebrity judges. There will also be separate pet costume contest at 7 p.m.
In addition, the city will raffle off a number of prizes, including a mini-drone and wireless headphones.
“Our mission is to do a safe, family-oriented Halloween,” David Baker, Director of Harrisburg’s Parks & Recreation Department said via a press release. “When the mayor first took office, one of her top directives was to increase parks and recreation outreach into the community. We want to get out and interact and have fun with the public.”
“Halloween is one of my favorite nights of the year because of how much fun the children have,” said Mayor Wanda Williams. “I’m so excited to bring a family-friendly Halloween to the people of Harrisburg, so we can celebrate together in a safe way.”
Reservoir Drive will be closed to traffic during the event. Limited parking will be available at the Reservoir Park basketball courts.
