The Halloween celebration will be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will include a costume contest, a scavenger hunt, a DJ Dance Party and opportunities to experience spooky mayhem and capture the moment in pictures.
The Families in Nature program will sponsor a “spooky trail” for younger children. Older kids and adults can venture along the “Trail of Fright,” which is “not for the faint of heart.” It will feature the Master of Mayhem and Mr. Sean.
Guests can transform into their favorite characters at a face-painting booth, take festive pictures in the photo booth and taste treats in the food court sponsored by the Rotary Club, Women’s Forum, Lloyds of Avalon and the Cookie and Coffee Co. Additionally, guests can enjoy the Falconry Experience by taking pictures and holding hawks during the event.The Conservancy’s educational staff will offer owl pellet dissections throughout the Halloween celebration.
The Garibaldi Bus, donated by the City of Avalon, will shuttle residents and visitors between the Garden and Tour Plaza, People’s Park and Bird Park. It will operate from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
For the first 1,000 Island residents, the Halloween in the Garden event will be free. After the first 1,000 guests, admission for any additional guests will be $3 for children 5 to 12 years of age, $7 for adults and $5 for seniors and veterans (ID required). Admission for all children under the age of 5 and active-duty military and their families will be free.
Families in Nature is a monthly program the Conservancy offers to Island residents throughout the school year to give them the opportunity and the access to the Island’s interior to experience nature. The annual Halloween in the Garden event gives residents an opportunity to see and experience Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden, a showcase for Catalina’s native and endemic plants.
