Costume Boo-Tique
Join us at The Costume Boo-tique, a FREE yearly costume event promoting sustainability and affordability at Halloween! 
By choosing a pre-loved costume, you’ll be reducing your environmental impact while still enjoying all the fun of the season.
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!
