Halloween

The Halloween Neighborhood Bazaar is similar to a Fall Festival. We host this every year the week before Halloween, and we have an amazing turnout. We have 264 apartments and usually over 300 people and 50 pets attend the event each year. We encourage everyone to attend in costume, including the residents' pets. At the beginning of the evening, we host a costume parade for all the residents and pets that arrive in costume. At the end of the parade, we hand out goodie bags filled with candy and toys for all the children and goodie bags stocked with treats and squeaky toys for all the pets. The main part of the bazaar is hosted by the residents, which is great, because it saves us lots of time and money. Residents compete for a large prize (usually a rent concession or gift card), and...

Have your residents 'decorate' their pets for Halloween and bring them to a Pet Social where you can give away pet toys for the best 'decorated'. Simple but by calling it a decorating contest some will paint their animals or put bells and whistles on them and it is a bit more entertaining than just a costume contest!! Have fun!!

We throw an annual "Boo Bash" for our residents. We serve dinner... usually some homemade creepy food along with pizza. We have games and crafts. We also award prizes to our winners.

This apartment friendly approach to Trick-or-Treating gives residents an easy way to volunteer and children a unique way to safely celebrate this holiday.  Residents volunteer to be home and pass out candy for 1-2 hours.  Children are given clues to find the apartment homes with volunteers and candy.
