The annual event, in its second year, drew thousands to the field at BAIMS, where the family friendly activities included trick-or-treating, face painting food trucks, a “roaming railroad” train, a Haunted Spirits Brew Tent and local vendors.

The Halloween Spooktacular is presented by the City Arts & Culture Commission and Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services Department.
