There will be a zombie dance party at 2 p.m., zombie judging at 3 p.m. and a zombie stroll through town at 4 p.m. The public is welcome to either dress like a zombie and participate, or simply watch as a spectator.

All activities will be held at the Keyport mini park at 55 West Front Street.

This is the first year the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative has done such a stroll. But they say they are planning more events in October, with spooky decorated houses, an upcoming event called Be-Witched, ghost tours and more.

The Zombie Stroll is meant to kick off the Halloween season in Keyport and bring people into town to walk the waterfront, stroll past shops and try local dining.
