Fountain Hills is gearing up for a bewitching evening with its annual Spooky Blast event, made possible through a collaboration with Arizona Propane. Now in its fourth iteration, the family-friendly Halloween affair promises a night of fanciful costumes, sugary delights, and varied entertainment suitable for all ages. Scheduled for Saturday, October 25th, Spooky Blast invites the community to indulge in trick-or-treating across the ballfields, where more than 20 local sponsors will be doling out candy and orchestrating engaging activities.
Kids can look forward to jumping around in incredible inflatables, getting lost in an inflatable corn maze, and experiencing the awe of jugglers and stilt walkers. For those with a flair for the dramatics, the costume contest is an opportunity to shine. According to Fountain Hills' official event page, there are prizes waiting for the top three entrants in each category: Kids, Family, and Adult. The festivities begin at 5:00 PM and are expected to wrap up around 8:00 PM at Four Peaks Park, nestled at 14605 N Del Cambre Ave.
Epicureans can take their pick from an array of food trucks like 2 Fat Guys Grilled Cheese and Pizza Arno, promising a gastronomic retreat amidst the trick-or-treating. And if your taste buds lean towards the sweet and salty, vendors like Pop Daddy Kettle Korn will be on site to suffice the cravings. Two Mad Science shows are on the docket, providing a dash of educational entertainment, scheduled for 5:30 & 7:00 pm, as highlighted by the event's promotional materials.
Those planning to participate in the costume contest should note the new timing this year, with the pageant set for 6:15 pm. This spooktacular extravaganza backed by heavy hitters like AZ Propane and Renewal by Andersen is expected to draw a significant crowd. So if you're in the mood for some Halloween hijinks and community camaraderie, consider this a must-attend event.
