Bayshore will turn into Bayscare on Friday, Oct. 28 as the mixed-use shopping center will host its third annual BOOgie Bash & Costume Contest in honor of spooky season. 

Running from 5-8 p.m. in The Yard green space, the free ghoulish gathering will feature a feast of family-friendly fall activities and Halloween wonder – including a hay maze, spooky Halloween displays, costumed characters like fairytale princesses roaming about The Yard, light shows, a duo of Z-Bot LED Robots and much more spooky season fun. And then, of course, there's the costume contest at 6 p.m., with folks of all ages showing off their costumed creativity in the hopes of winning prizes. 

Plus, if your stomach starts groaning like zombie, Bayshore's BOOgie Bash & Costume Contest will host a number of food trucks – including The Collective Marketplace, Cinnabar Nutrition, Kilwins, El Sazon Dominicano, Meat on the Street, Pedro's South American Food and Rose Mob Grill – to help sate attendees in between scares. 

“This is one of our favorite community events every year, because not only is it free for families to enjoy, but to see the children dressed up, dancing and having fun with their families is what the Bayshore experience is all about,” said Bayshore marking manager Brenda Vento, in a release.
