Legions of undead will converge in Downtown Phoenix for Zombie Walk 3 as part of a full cauldron of Halloween fun Saturday, October 29. The Downtown Phoenix Partnership and X103.9 present an afternoon and evening gathering with something for the entire family - from tiny ghouls on up to freakish adult Zombies.
More than 2,000 walking dead showed up for the main event last year - the Zombie Walk. This year, for a donation of canned goods to St. Mary's Food Bank, all sorts can take part in the frightening stroll of the undead throughout Downtown scaring any and all who dare to unknowingly enjoy a peaceful urban night out. What they'll find is that the real entertainment will be streetside when families, decked out in scary or other Halloween fare, show their true and often bloody colors. For additional donations of canned goods, wanna-be Zombies can have their make-up done on site.
The costume contest is no joke either. A celebrity judge will be scouting who to honor with prizes for the best fright sight or cute bundle of pumpkin fun.
And who ya gonna call to lead the parade of the walking dead? Why the Arizona Ghostbusters, of course. Their Ecto-AZ ambulance and their special Ghostbusting Proton Packs might just come in handy if any of the Zombies get out of control. For certain protection, the Phoenix Police Department and the Department of Zombie Defense will help keep the Zombies from consuming the humans that might cross their path.
Hallowe'en at Heritage ParkBring the entire family to Historic Heritage Square for a ghoulish good time. From 2-10 p.m. the entire park will be screaming with activities. Face-painting, games, costume contests, music, and food. The Rosson House Museum will be open with a holiday exhibition and special tour. At 6 p.m., all costumed participants are invited to join Zombie Walk 3. This FREE event continues into the evening with a beer garden, music, and more fun.
