Things are about to get spooky around the neighborhood, with rumblings of various Halloween events and activities roaming the neighborhood … While all details are yet to be confirmed, there has been definite talk of a Halloween Party in the Park, with DJs, Costome Contests and other appropriately festive activities. This event is said to be free and hosted by Nestseekers, with HPPC providing community support.
Similar to past years, LIC trick-or-treaters will be able to enjoy another local Halloween Parade with a route spanning the area around the parks, Center Boulevard and Vernon Boulevard, which will be closed off for the time of the parade. Paws & Pints, host of several popular human-kanine mixer events in Hunter’s Point South Park is coming back to throw a Pet Costume Party at LIC Landing. On Oct 25 from 12-4 pm, the events company is partnering with LIC Dog Walk, LIC Landing by Coffeed and HPPC to bring Howlin’ For Halloween to the location of previous gatherings.
Proceeds will support Patriot Paws, a Texas-based organization that provides working service dogs to veterans at no charge.
Various businesses in the area are contributing to the events and are hosting their own events. On 31 Oct, 7 to 11 p.m. Woodbines is having a Halloween party and costume contest, and there will be $5 drink specials, prizes, giveaways, and a $100 gift certificate for the person with the best costume.
Stay tuned for more information on all things Halloween in LIC!
