POUGHKEEPSIE, NY—Halloween is October 31, but Marist College’s “Hall-oween” happens a little earlier.
Families are invited to join in an afternoon of fun during “Residence Hall-oween” on Saturday, October 28, 12:00-2:00pm.
Organized by the Marist College Residence Hall Association and the Office of Housing and Residential Life, the 13th annual trick-or-treat event will also feature booths with various activities geared toward young children, including face painting, mummy wrapping, pumpkin tosses, and various other Halloween arts and crafts. There will also be an ongoing costume contest with different categories and prizes. This event is free and open to the public.
Residence Trick or Treat
“Residence Hall-oween is a long-standing campus tradition that gives our students a chance to connect with children from Poughkeepsie and the larger Hudson Valley community,” says April Bourlier, Resident Director and Advisor of the Marist Residence Hall Association. “We’re happy to welcome families to campus for this fun, free event.”
Trick-or-treating will occur in the Foy and Upper New Townhouses. Visitors should park in Parking Lot 14, which is most easily accessed from the campus’s north entrance.
