Portland Parks & Recreation’s annual Boo Bash Festival brought plenty of Halloween fun for the whole family! From carnival games to bounce houses, inflatable slides, and exciting activities, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Festivities also included the crowd-favorite scream contest, adorable pets showing off their Halloween costumes in the pet costume contest, and plenty of games and goodies along the Trick-or-Treat Trail! 🍬🐾 Families came together to celebrate the season, show off their spooky costumes, and make lasting memories.

A huge thank-you to everyone who attended, participated, volunteered, and helped make this year’s Boo Bash a frighteningly fun success! We look forward to another spooktacular Boo Bash next year! 🧡🕸️
