Asheville’s Halloween Spirit Shines Bright
Asheville, N.C. is buzzing with excitement as the city kicks off its Halloween celebrations! After the tricky weather brought on by Helene, the community is ready to embrace the spooky season with open arms at the much-anticipated “Boo Bash” on October 27. Hosted at the Tanger Outlets on Brevard Road, this festive event is designed to lift spirits and bring folks together.
A Spooktacular Kick-off
The Boo Bash will feature a delightful assortment of activities organized by the Asheville Parks and Rec Department. Their Rec n Roll van will be packed with all things creepy and fun, like pumpkin crafts and captivating strolling magic that promises to enchant both kids and adults alike. It’s a fantastic way for families to enjoy the Halloween season while getting their creative juices flowing!
Community Resilience
Amidst the chatter of excited children and families, we caught up with Megan Thorp, the marketing director of Tanger Outlets. She commented on the significance of the Boo Bash, especially in light of the recent storm. “We wanted to bring some normalcy to the community. We’ve been through so much together,” she shared. “And it’s kind of a little emotional to see all this because of what we’ve gone through. Seeing everybody with smiling faces, it’s reassuring to know we’re accomplishing that goal.” It’s clear that this event is more than just a fun gathering; it’s a way for the community to heal and reconnect.
Fun for Everyone!
Besides the thrills and chills of the Halloween activities, the Boo Bash will also feature live music and entertainment to keep the energy lively throughout the event. Get ready for some exciting giveaways and, of course, trick-or-treating! Kids (and young-at-heart adults) can look forward to collecting candy while mingling with fellow trick-or-treaters. It’s shaping up to be a memorable evening for everyone involved!
What’s Next for Asheville?
The Halloween fun doesn’t stop there! Asheville is gearing up for more delightful events leading up to Halloween. On October 30, the city will host Movies in the Park at Pack Square Park, perfect for a cozy gathering under the stars! Imagine snuggling up with friends and family, popcorn in hand, while enjoying classic films that celebrate the spookiness of the season!
And don’t forget about the trunk or treat event happening on Halloween in the Shiloh community. It’s an excellent way for kids to enjoy safe trick-or-treating while interacting with their neighbors. Events like these help foster a sense of community, proving that Asheville truly knows how to come together.
