Families Invited To Orland Square's Annual Boo Bash

ORLAND PARK, IL -- Get ready to mash at Orland Square’s annual Boo Bash. Families are invited to participate in this annual, free event on Thursday, Oct. 25 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Boo Bash will be held in the Orland Square Upper Level Court. Children and their parents are invited to join in the festivities while wearing their favorite Halloween costume. This year’s celebration will feature a variety of Halloween-themed fun including mini-cake decorating with Nothing Bundt Cakes, glitter tattoo application sponsored by Hot Rags, make-and-take crafts from Hallmark and JCPenney, DJ, multiple Halloween photo areas, snacks from select retailers, and party favor gift bags.

Other activities taking place during Boo Bash will include:

• Superhero meet-and-greet (4 to 5:30 p.m.)
• Performances by the American Dance Center (5 p.m.)

In addition to the Boo Bash celebration, Orland Square will begin ramping up for Halloween with its second annual retailer pumpkin decorating contest. From Oct.18 through Oct. 24, more than 25 Orland Square retailers will have custom decorated pumpkins on display throughout the mall. Guests will be encouraged to visit participating retailers, including ALEX and ANI, Eddie Bauer, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Janie & Jack, MAC Cosmetics and more, and vote on their favorites for the chance to win a $50 gift card. Then, on Oct. 25 during the Boo Bash, the pumpkins will be displayed together and there will be a silent auction for the pumpkins, with proceeds of the auction benefiting the Simon Youth Foundation.
