Haunted Harbor Returns October 23
The Port of Everett has announced the return of its popular fall activations at Waterfront Place. The Port’s third annual Haunted Harbor takes place on October 23 and Yachtober Fest Drink Bingo lasts all of October at participating Waterfront Place restaurants.
Community members and visitors are invited to join us for an afternoon of spooky, but not-so-scary, FREE family fun during the Port of Everett’s third annual Haunted Harbor event taking place Friday, October 23, from 4 – 7 p.m. The fun happens rain or shine!
Rain or shine, guests will gather in and around the Port’s Pacific Rim Plaza, near Hotel Indigo, for a night of fright. Planned activities include “Troll or Treat” for kiddos to trick or treat at the boats moored along Guest Dock 5 and booths on the esplanade from 4-6 p.m., games, music, crafts, a mini-Float Find for all ages, a free pumpkin patch and more.
Haunted Harbor Schedule
4 – 5:30 p.m. – Witches Paddle – Keep an eye out for witches and warlocks paddling around the Port of Everett Marina on stand-up paddleboards and kayaks. Interested in participating? E-mail everettwitchpaddle@gmail.com to learn more.
4 – 6 p.m. – “Troll or Treat” – Bring out the kiddos in their best Halloween costumes to hit the dock for “Troll or Treat.” Enjoy this unique trick or treating experience walking boat-to-boat while gathering treats from boaters moored along the Port’s Guest Dock 5 (near Hotel Indigo). This year, waterfront businesses and community partners will have booths on the esplanade to welcome visitors for additional candy collecting and activities. Candy and “Troll or Treat” bags while supplies last.
4 – 7 p.m. – Fright Night Fun – Get your spook on! Enjoy FREE, family-friendly, Halloween-themed fun. Stop by various booths to play ghoulish games, create not-so-creepy crafts, enjoy the thrill of the hunt during our mini-Float Find for all ages, say “Bone Appetit” to some tasty snacks or at one of the Port’s waterfront restaurants, show off your costume, pick up a free pumpkin from the LAZ Parking-sponsored pumpkin patch, and more!
Free Pumpkin Patch – LAZ Parking will once again host a FREE pumpkin patch for all ages while supplies last!
Float Find Halloween – The thrill of Float Find is back with a haunting edition! During Haunted Harbor, search around Pacific Rim Plaza, the marina esplanade, and Port Gardner Wharf for a picture of an octopus inside a small plastic clue ball. If you’re lucky enough to find one, head to Schack Art Center’s booth at the event to exchange it for an orange, handmade glass float by local artists at Schack Art Center! Schack will also have free kids’ activities and handmade blown glass pumpkins for purchase!
