The Town of Surfside’s annual Spooky Spooktacular returned Friday, Oct. 24, filling 96th Street Park with Halloween spirit and family-friendly fun. From 6 to 9 p.m., thousands of residents and visitors came dressed as ghosts, goblins, witches, fairies, superheroes, and monsters, enjoying music, games, and a variety of festive activities.
The first 75 families received free pumpkins for the popular carving activity, giving children and adults alike a chance to show off their creativity. Attendees also enjoyed face painting, spooky-themed games, and safe trick-or-treating in a vibrant, community-centered atmosphere.
The event is a cherished Surfside tradition that fosters community engagement and celebrates the season in a safe, inclusive environment. Town officials joined in the festivities, including Vice Mayor Tina Paul, Commissioners Coto, Velasquez and Vildostegui, Town Clerk McCready, Chief of Police Press, and Major Matelis.
The Surfside Parks and Recreation Department encourages residents to participate in future events that bring the community together. For more information, contact the Surfside Community Center at (305) 866-3635.
