HalloWENA – October 28 at 4PM

Welcome to HalloWENA! Saturday, October 28, starting at 4PM. The neighborhood block party in the West End you have come to know and love: spooky music with DJ Scare Lewis, a food truck, refreshments, activities, and a costume parade.

This year, there’s a major twist in the decor department! We are hosting the first neighborhood decoration contest IN THE PARK. If you want to participate, here is how it works:

  • Sign up individually or with a group by sending an email to westendboise@gmail.com.
  • Create a free-standing vignette (ie. a spooky scene that is self-contained within a part of the park). Reach out if you want examples.
  • Start setting up as early as 10am on Saturday, October 28th but you must be completed by 4pm when HalloWENA begins.
  • Clean up and remove decorations from 7-8pm after the event ends.

Everyone will enjoy the decor during HalloWENA from 4-7pm.

Winners will be selected during the event and prizes will be awarded for the best decorations. Contact westendboise@gmail.com if you have further questions or to help us continue to plan meaningful neighborhood events. We need your support to continue supporting this great community.

*Note: there will not be a consistent presence on site to help set up or to secure personal belongings/decorations. Please plan accordingly; West End NA or West Downtown NA cannot be held liable for any unattended items.

See you in Fairview Park on Saturday the 28th at 4PM!
