Muncie, IN–Minnetrista Museum & Gardens invites families to Boo-levard Bash to celebrate the Halloween season with a festive evening of trick-or-treating along historic Minnetrista Boulevard. Join us on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for this beloved free community event, which promises a delightful and safe experience for children and their families.
Guests will stroll down the iconic boulevard, visiting various decorated trick-or-treat stations hosted by the Ball family homes. Community organizations will also join the fun, ensuring plenty of treats for all! A highlight of the evening will be the appearance of the Headless Horseman with a real horse, greeting guests in the front yard of Nebosham.
Families can enjoy Hospitality offerings for purchase in the L.L. lot, featuring bratwursts, hot dogs, vegetable boxes, chips, soda, water, and The Orchard Shop’s freshly pressed cider. The Orchard Shop pop-up will also be on-site, providing a variety of retail items and sweet cotton candy.
For a little extra flair, glitter tattoos will be available for $5, giving children a chance to sparkle as they collect their treats. Printed maps will guide guests through the festivities, highlighting all amenities and trick-or-treat stations.
Adding to the Halloween ambiance, a Spooky Trail in the Oakhurst Garden will feature festive decorations and a candy station, designed to be fun rather than frightening. Only the trails past Betty’s Dollhouse and Betty’s Cabin will be open for exploration.
We encourage participants to embrace the spirit of Halloween by coming in their most creative and family-friendly costumes, contributing to the lively atmosphere of the event. This celebration is designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for all ages, so whether you’re a little ghost, a superhero, or a whimsical creature, your costumes will enhance the overall experience. Best of all, this exciting event is completely free, allowing everyone to partake in the fun without any cost.
Parking will be conveniently available at the nearby Delaware County Fairgrounds, making it easy for guests to access the festivities. Oakhurst Gardens will close at 3 p.m. on Saturday to allow staff to complete preparations for the evening event.
Boo-levard Bash is presented in partnership with the Navient Community Fund of the Delaware Community Foundation.
