Boost the Boro, Inc. serves as host for the Town of Bladenboro’s annual Beast Fest event. This year, Beast Fest will celebrate its 10th anniversary and should Mother Nature continues to smiles down on us as she has in the past few years, we expect to see 10,000 or more festival-goers from all over Southeastern North Carolina and beyond flock to this annual Fall event.
The festival this year will be held on October 29th, 2016 and is turning out to be a jam-packed event. You will find both safe and appropriate activities for “all-age groups”. This festival will be a really good way to spend an enjoyable and inexpensive Saturday with the family.
Starting out the day at 8:00 am will be the annual 5K Fun Run (or Walk). “There will also be a wide variety of food and craft vendors, games and carnival type rides, a classic and late model car show, both a children’s and a pet “Howl-O-Ween” costume contest and the best live bands and entertainment you will find anywhere in the South,” Don White, Boost the Boro President said.
Don’t even worry about going door-to-door for Trick or Treat this year with the kiddies because, as last year, one of our local church groups will block off an entire street section of town. They will host a live “Trunk or Treat” event that begins just after dusk. This event is really something to see and was very popular last year for the kids according to the Boost the Boro representatives. This year, it is expected to draw an even larger crowd children (under age 12) are encouraged to participate.
