Entertainment will include stilt-walkers, balloon artists and pirate-themed activities throughout the evening. The celebration will conclude with an outdoor screening of the Halloween movie “Hocus Pocus” on a large screen after the main festivities end at 8 p.m.

The annual event has become a tradition for families visiting Okaloosa Island during Halloween, providing an alternative to traditional neighborhood trick-or-treating. The Boardwalk’s businesses participate by distributing candy and hosting activities for children in costume.
