North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board are pleased to announce the return of Spooky Walk, which takes place on Friday, Oct. 25 from 5 to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 26 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Join your family, friends and neighbors for two frightening nights at one of North Hempstead’s most popular annual events.
Zombies, vampires, ghouls and many of their gruesome friends will inhabit the garden for an event expected to draw thousands of visitors from across North Hempstead and all of Long Island.
The ghastly cast of characters are played by local young people who want to help continue the event they enjoyed so much. They can even earn community service credit at their respective schools.
The cost of admission is just $5 per person.
Music will be performed on-site by DJ Chris Howard and there will be food available for purchase.
This year the Town secured Monarch Foods on Friday, Oct. 25, and Dom’s Chicken Finger Truck on Saturday, Oct. 26.
Spooky Walk might not be suitable for younger children, and minors must be accompanied by an adult.
The Town is also celebrating the Not-So-Spooky Walk for younger children on Sunday, Oct. 27 from 12 to 4 p.m.
This walk focuses less on the frights and more on fun, featuring face painting, balloon animals, arts & crafts and more.
Not-So-Spooky Walk’s cost of admission is also only $5 per person.
“I can’t tell you how many residents tell me this is their favorite North Hempstead tradition by far,” DeSena said. “They have such great memories of bringing their children and those kids come back as teenagers with their friends. You just have to be young at heart.”
Attendees are encouraged to email their photos from the event to spooky@northhemspteadny.gov so they can be shared via the Town’s various social media.
Clark Botanic Garden is located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson.
Please note that admittance is cash only for both Spooky Walk and Not-So-Spooky Walk.
