Port Orchard’s Annual Downtown Trick or Treat event, Boo Bash, has been reimagined and redesigned to be safer, sustainable and more merchant friendly.

The Port Orchard Waterfront Association’s new Halloween event, Bay Street Ghost Hunt, will run for the entire weekend prior to Halloween, Friday. Oct 24-Sunday, Oct. 26th.

Wear your costume downtown and join in the weekend of fun!

Numerous events will be happening downtown throughout the weekend.

Details on the Ghost Hunt:

Pick up your Ghost Hunt Bingo card at any participating merchant, and your ghostly search begins! Participating businesses will have a jack-o-lantern on the door.

Find a ghost? Get a piece of candy or tiny treat from that participating business. Get a ghostly BINGO and bring your BINGO card to the library for a special prize and an entry to win one of three HUGE Halloween/Harvest baskets filled with everything needed to make this the best Halloween yet.

Hours to drop off your BINGO Card at the library are: 10am-5pm Friday, 10am-5pm Saturday and 1pm-5pm Sunday. Basket drawings will take place at 5pm on Sunday. Merchant hours may vary throughout the weekend.
