Lincoln Center Hosts Annual LC Kids Trick-Or-Treat Event and You Are Invited!

Looking for somewhere great to take the kids trick-or-treating this year? We still have a few more years left to fill up the candy bag, so this family is always on the look out for a great place to go. We already love Lincoln Center and Lincoln Center Kids so this year we are gong to check out their annual trick-or-treat event featuring a costume parade, activities, Scavenger “Haunt,” Performances, Storytime, and more.

This free event takes place on Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 11:00 am

 

So, like us, you can join the fun as Lincoln Center once again welcomes costumed kids and families for a festive Halloween celebration. Hosted by the LC Kids program, the all-ages event will feature trick-or-treating around the cultural campus, a parade to live music, a haunted scavenger hunt, a David Bowie tribute concert and dance party, and a number of additional free activities to delight all ages.
