The Marin YMCA will be hosting several of the carnival games, but we are especially thankful the City of Novato who has arranged to invite We Thrill the World to the event. Join Novato in learning and performing the iconic zombie dance which is part of a streamed-worldwide movement. After head on over the Haunted House (sponsored by CCK) and get a few frights in before checking out the Novato Fire District’s working Fire Engine—where little ones and their parents can explore the inner workings of the vehicles that protect so many lives.

If all of this candy has your head and gut spinning don’t miss Titanium Racing’s Monster Dash (5K) & Lil’ Goblin Race (1 mi) on Sunday, October 25. Run in costume and explore the picturesque community of Downtown Novato in the early mornings as the carnival festivities return for a second-day of lively fun! Your little ones may be interested in riding the ponies while you visit the friendly downtown merchants and restaurants that give Novato it’s unique charm.
