The City of Long Beach Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine, in collaboration with the Office of Climate Action & Sustainability, will host the Neighborhood Halloween Carnival Monster Mash Bash from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday at Silverado Park (1545 W. 31st St.). Now in its second year, this free, family-friendly event is part of the city’s Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program.
“Our Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program is all about bringing the community together and building resilience within our neighborhoods by encouraging deeper connections, and this event is proof that we are doing just that,” said Mayor Rex Richardson. “Over 1,500 people attended last year’s Neighborhood Halloween Carnival, and we are thrilled to welcome everyone back this year for another wonderful event that both celebrates the spirit of Halloween and empowers our community—especially our young residents—to get involved and engage locally.”
Community members will enjoy a wide variety of Halloween-themed and family-friendly carnival game stations and play stations including guessing games with Halloween candy prizes, alien pinball, zombie eyeball toss and knock down, tic-tac-toe and slam dunk games. Attendees will also have opportunities to trick-or-treat, win prizes at the ring toss, get crafty creating Halloween masks, balloon animals and slime, try their hand at cookie decorating and participate in a cake walk, all in a safe park environment. Residents of all ages are also invited to dress in their best Halloween attire at the Carnival Costume Contest.
