Judging by the some of the elaborate home displays around the city it would seem that Halloween has become almost as big as that other festive major holiday. The suspense has been building all month for the little ghosts and goblins and now that the big day is almost here, we’ve had a few calls in the City Manager’s Office related to Halloween. Here is some information on a few Lowell Halloween traditions.
The Tsongas Arena will hold the 11th Annual Monster Bash at the arena tonight, Oct. 28th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. There is a $4.00 “Fright Fee” to get in. Once inside children under 12 can trick or treat and play games.
On Friday, October 31, 2008 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm, the Office of Residence Life at UML hosts the popular and free Safe Trick-or-Treating event on the South Campus at Sheehy and Concordia Halls. UML students decorate the dorms, hand out candy and provide games and activities for the kids. It’s an event that’s fun for both the students and the kids and an opportunity for the UML students to give back to and be a part of the neighborhood community. For more information contact the Office of Residence Life at 978-934-5160.
For traditionalists, neighborhood Trick-or-Treating will run from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday, October 31, 2008. Here are some tips from the American Red Cross for a safe and fun Halloween.
Happy Halloween!
