A free drive-in movie at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre is among the events for Sidney’s sixth annual Halloween Spooktacular, which will run from Oct. 23 to Oct. 31.
The Sidney Business Improvement Area Society is organizing the event, which will also include interactive features by ArtSea, OneVoice Institute & The Myriad Experience, exhibits at the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea, the Sidney Museum and a community pumpkin patch sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Sidney & Saanich Peninsula among other elements.
Morgan Shaw, Sidney BIA’s executive director, said the modified event offers a family-friendly way to celebrate the spookiest time of the year.
