Costume Boo-Tique
October 19, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us at The Costume Boo-tique, a FREE costume event promoting sustainability and affordability this Halloween! 
We’ll have a wide selection of gently-used costumes available. By choosing a pre-loved costume, you’ll be reducing your environmental impact while still enjoying all the fun of the season. Let’s make this Halloween not just affordable, but eco-conscious and sustainable!
How It Works:
Simply show up and pick a costume – it’s that easy! The event is first-come, first-served, with options for all ages. There may be a lineup to avoid overcrowding, so your patience is appreciated!

Costume Donations:
