Halloween Horrors & Trick-or-Treating Coming to Derby Street Shoppes

Last year some kids laughed, some screamed and even cried when they rode the haunted rides around Derby Street Shoppes.

Families are invited back this year for this popular event, that’s only if they are brave enough.   

The rides take families on a three-row golf cart around the dark Hidden Pond behind the Whole Foods Market.  Along the spooky adventure, riders this year will be greeted by characters from the Company Theatre of Norwell. Last year's rides left some children excited and laughing and wanting more, while other children cried, covered their eyes, hugged their mothers, and wanted it to just end.

This years rides are scheduled for Oct 18-21, and 25-28 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Guests can avoid waiting in line and purchase their tickets at Magic Beans now until closing night. Tickets cost $1 with all proceeds benefiting Interfaith Social Services of Quincy.

On Oct. 28, Derby Street Shoppes will also hold a Halloween costume parade and Trick or Treat for children.  It will begin at Magic Beans at 12 p.m.

The fun family event is followed by a doggy costume contest at REI at 1 p.m.  Owners must pay $1 to enter their dog, which will benefit the New England Arts for Animals.
