The Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department will host a drive-through Children’s Halloween Party (Halloween Hollow) on Thursday, Oct. 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Due to COVID-19, this year’s event will be a drive-through beginning at the A.K. Bissell Park west side field and ending at the Oak Ridge Civic Center west side parking area.

Event participants will be able to enjoy Halloween scenes, pick up preordered T-shirts, and children 4 years old to 4^th grade will receive treats.

Employees and volunteers will sanitize frequently and be required to wear masks or face coverings when approaching a car and when within 6 feet of another person. Any participants wishing to come in to view the spooky scenes and receive treats will also be required to wear masks or face coverings.

All families wishing to attend this free event will need to register at Eventbrite.com or by visiting bit.ly/HalloweenOakRidge2020.
