Peoria, AZ On Saturday, Oct. 28, the annual Halloween Monster Bash is back at the Peoria Sports Complex, 16101 N. 83rd Avenue. The free, family-friendly event takes place from 5-9 p.m. and will include plenty of delicious treats, as well as live entertainment, costume contests, family activities, and more.
“Peoria’s Halloween Monster Bash is the place to be this Halloween,” said Marylou Stephens, Director of Arts, Culture, and Library Services. “Not only is it a safe place for kids to trick or treat, but it is also a family-friendly event where there is something for everyone to enjoy.”
Event activities include trick-or-treating, roaming Halloween characters, exciting BMX performances from Superhero Stunt Team, Deb's Dragons exotic reptiles, snakes, and spiders exhibit, the Dino Crew, inflatable slides and obstacle courses, and green screen entertainment. Children and families are invited to participate in the Monster March Costume Contest. Age groups range from 0-11 years of age, as well as a family/group costume category where adults and teens can join in on the fun. Categories per age group are: scariest, funniest, cutest, and most original costume.
Returning to the Monster Bash this year is the Sensory Room, which is a calming, sensory-friendly space for children, teens, and adults with sensory processing needs. Noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, plush chairs, and soft toys are available. Sensory kits are also available to check out during the event. The room is located at the Colonnade on the third base side of the facility.
The Teal Pumpkin Program is a national program where teal-colored pumpkins are used to signify a safe food home or event. For those children and families managing food allergies, children are encouraged to carry teal pumpkins or bags, and the event staff will have a variety of trick or treat toys, games, and arts and crafts available.
