Fright Night, Park University’s annual Halloween celebration, will be held Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Copley Quad residence hall on the university’s Parkville Campus, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Admission to the event is free and open to the public, and children of all ages are encouraged to dress in their favorite Halloween costume. The university will also accept donations for the student food pantry.
“Come join the Park community for one of our biggest community events of the year.,” said Molly Pierson, dean of students. “The night will be filled with games, candy, spooky hallway walks, and more! Bring the whole family!”
Fright Night will include trick-or-treating for children throughout the residence hall and booths will be set up for face painting, crafts and carnival-style games. Numerous Park University student organizations, academic departments and offices will sponsor booths with activities, contests and events for everyone in attendance.
Parking for the event will be available in Lot N adjacent to the University’s Sixth Street entrance next to Julian Field (soccer field). For more information, contact Alyssa Acuna, associate director of student engagement and inclusion, at alyssa.acuna@park.edu / (816) 584-6520.
