A Not-So-Scary Adventure

Boo! at The Bay offers a variety of activities for children and adults alike. Trick-or-treaters can explore the park, collecting candy from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation team, and venturing along the not-really haunted decorated trail. For those who love to craft, the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation Teaching Artists will be on hand to inspire pumpkin decorating creativity. And for the perfect photo opportunity, the Art Center Sarasota has created a must-do photo op station.

Entertainment for Everyone

To keep the energy high, DJ Rick Levine will be spinning boo-tastic tunes that will get everyone moving and grooving. And to satisfy hunger pangs, a variety of food trucks, including Killik's Kitchen, Nakos Tacos, PopStroke, and King of Pops, will be serving up delicious food and refreshments.

A Movie Night to Remember

As the sun sets, the event will conclude with a showing of the popular animated film, Despicable Me 4. This family-friendly movie is the perfect way to end a spooky and fun-filled evening.
