Brooklyn Park is stirring up something spooktacular this Halloween and the local police department is in charge of the cauldron. Set to unfold on Tuesday, October 29 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, the Brooklyn Park Police Department is brewing a night of family fun that will have little costumed ghouls and their guardians celebrating at no charge.
According to an announcement on the city's official website, the spookfest is hosted in the Police Department Garage on 5400 85th Ave. N, offers a variety of activities including Trunk-or-Treating, where kids, encouraged to wear costumes, can fetch candy in a safe environment. Also on the bill is a chance to get up close with massive vehicles in 'Explore A Truck', and a host of family-friendly diversions such as a balloon artist, a DJ spinning tunes sure to wake the dead, a scavenger hunt, a coloring station, temporary tattoos, and more.
While the event itself might not cost a dime, those looking to sink their teeth into more than just candy can patronize the on-site food trucks, ready to serve up additional grub for purchase. The police department, aiming to connect with the community, is going all out to ensure a laid-back atmosphere for families to mingle with local law enforcement and enjoy the evening.
And for those looking to capture the memories without having to worry about a camera, a photo booth will be on-site, snapping shots faster than a vampire avoids the sunrise. While no registration is necessary to join the festivities, enthusiasm for a good time — and maybe a costume — is essential. The event promises to be a frightfully good time without the typical Halloween horrors of logistics and expenses, as detailed by the earnest announcement of the free-to-attend shindig.
