You won’t boo-lieve what Prince Rupert has in store for Halloween

Halloween is around the corner and there will be lots of fun, candy-filled activities for Rupertites of all ages.

32nd annual Halloween Fest

The 32nd annual Halloween Fest will take place at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Kids can “shoot the ghoulie” with the Prince Rupert Rampage.

The event will feature a collection of games — zombie shoot, pumpkin bowling, eyeball toss, pumpkin mini-golf, ghost bingo, doghnut dangle, and more — an abundance of candy for young trick-or-treaters, a haunted house and a costume parade beginning at 6:15 p.m. with four different categories.

Weather permitting, there will be fireworks outside the Civic Centre at 8:15 p.m. The bus will run on Friday’s schedule so everyone can ride the bus up to 9:30 p.m.

Admission is free, but attendees have an option to donate if they wish. Everyone who attends gets a ticket for hotdogs and drinks.

Event director Bev Kilberry said the event would not be possible without the businesses and organizations that sponsor it, as well as the volunteers who help make it a success.
