Prepare for Frightfully Good Times at the Booooster Park Fall Festival
By: Orange County Communications Department
Orange County Parks & Recreation (OCPR) is excited for the upcoming Fall Festival scheduled for October 25 at Booster Park (11177 Bloomsbury Road, Orange, VA). Reviving the ‘ spirit ’ of the former Halloween Boovie Night events last held in 2019, this event will feature an outdoor showing of Hotel Transylvania, but that ’ s not all! This year ’ s celebration will host all new activities including a costume parade, as well as a community resource portion that will double as a trick - or - treat event. The costume parade is open to all ages, but costumes should be appropriate for a children ’ s event. Those who register will receive a free commemorative OCPR flashlight (while supplies last). Pre - registration is recommended. They will also be entered for a chance to win an OCPR picnic blanket. If interested, please complete the online entry form prior to the event. The form requests basic information which will allow staff to announce the participant and their costume during the parade. Another new addition will be the community resource portion of the event. By visiting the various booths, event participants will be able to learn more about the great agencies and organizations serving Orange County residents. Even sweeter, this will also serve as a trick - or - treat opportunity. Each booth will provide some small treat or goodie to young visitors. Of course, the main feature is the showing of Hotel Transylvania, which will begin at approximately 6:45 p.m., depending on light conditions. Hotel Transylvania is rated PG with a runtime of one hour and 31 minutes. Attendees should be prepared for an outdoor movie and dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Bring blankets and lawn chairs. A food truck, Fabulous Foods, will be onsite and concessions will be available. However, guests are welcome to bring their own food. The full event schedule is below.
