Spooktacular offers a safe, fun and easy trick-or-treat experience for the whole family also with live music, beverages, holiday-themed food vendors and activities galore.
Aerial Solutions is providing the luminous balloon spectacle with more than 20-tethered hot air balloons, each with a station for trick-or-treaters to graze for candy and awe in light of the colorful masterpieces. Candy stops will be at each balloon anchor point. In addition, guests can “soar” in tethered balloon rides by Rainbow Ryders Inc. for a small fee.
Arizona’s favorite Haunted House by the popular AZ Scream Park presents Spooktacular-goers with a ‘taste’ of its decades-old popular haunted house experience in South Scottsdale. Plus, the Spook Trail returns with explorers never quite sure what’s around every corner; a Petting Zoo is here this year; a costume contest of sorts and of course fireworks to cap off Friday night.
