Queen Street To Hold Boo Bash On October 31
Queen Street will again be the setting for safe – and free – Halloween trick or treating on Friday [Oct 31] evening when retailers on the popular shopping street open their doors to children in costume for the second year in a row.
Boo Bash will see Daisy & Mac, Choices, Sassy and Baked open from 5.30 to 7.30pm tomorrow. Restaurants including Lemon Tree and KFC will also be open.
Daisy & Mac will be offering a number of activities, including Face Painting by professional makeup artist Maria DeBraga, Glitter Art, the Photo Booth, a Halloween arts and crafts table and Halloween games.
Staff at the participating stores will give out candies and gifts to trick or treaters aged up to 12.
The event will culminate with a parade at 7pm at Lemon Tree where prizes will be given for the most creative costume, the cutest costume, the scariest costume and the best boys’ and girls’ costumes. Prizes will include gift certificates and toys from participating stores.
Boo Bashes have become increasingly popular in North American shopping malls, shopping streets and museums as a safe way for children to trick or treat and have fun.
“We are very excited to be able to hold Boo Bash for the second time and are thrilled at the support we have had from our fellow retailers,” said Daisy & Mac owner Dawn Zuill. “It’s not too late for others to take part!”
The Queen Street Boo Bash will take place before Lemon Tree holds its annual “Nightmare on Queen Street” for older Halloween partiers.
“After last year’s Boo Bash, the feedback from parents and children was so great that we knew we had to do it again,” said Daisy & Mac’s Kelly Gilmour, who is coordinating the event. “After Hurricane Gonzalo, this is a chance for everyone to let off some steam and have a fun time in a safe environment.”
