Park West is pleased to present its 5th Annual Boo Bash on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 6-8 p.m. The date, just shy of two weeks before Halloween, allows Peoria residents the opportunity to attend all the private parties and festivities that the city of Peoria hosts in celebration of Halloween. This year’s event will also include a more prominent Día de los Muertos element of celebration.

“Our Boo Bash event has grown every year with more family friendly things to see, do and experience,” said Kelly Price, business development manager for Park West. “As always, we value our customer feedback. With that, we decided to move the date of our Boo Bash up a week so families don’t have to choose between their neighborhood celebrations and the city of Peoria’s annual Halloween event. We love hosting this safe, family friendly experience for our neighbors and look forward to seeing our neighbors costume!”

During the event, guests can enjoy a host of frightful family friendly activities and experiences including three magic shows, trunk or treat sponsored by Arrowhead Honda, performances by Boom Percussion, a DJ, Halloween games and prizes, inflatables, a funeral hearse, and a haunted horse and carriage.

Characters and performers will be onsite to add to the spooktacular experience, including Jack Skellington with stilts, Sally with stilts, a glow Hula Hooper, Day of the Dead characters, Lady M, Monarch Butterfly and Frankenstein’s Monster.

A multitude of tenants will be participating by passing out candy and surprises, dressing up in costume, and or offering exclusive giveaways. For example, according to Stephanie Vasquez of Amor Collective, her team will be dressed as traditional Catrinas and passing out authentic Mexican candies.

“We are committed to participating with the community, and we love events like this that help us get to know each other better,” said Leah Cook of Genuine Concepts, which operates The Vig. During the event, The Vig staff will be handing out candy as well. Additional tenants also slated to participate include:
