Tiny ghosts, goblins, superheroes, princesses and other costumed characters will descend on campus Thursday evening for the annual Lake-o-Ween and Boo Bash Halloween events.

The fun gets started at 6 p.m. as the Lake-o-Ween Halloween festival kicks off in the Library Circle. Attendees will be treated to some freaky fun, ghoulish games and frightening food.

The Residence Halls will also open at 6 p.m. for Boo Bash, a safe trick-or-treating event for children. Students will decorate the halls with child-friendly themes and pass out candy from the doors of their rooms. Trick-or-treating tours get started in the Centennial Courtyard and continue until 8 p.m.

Both events are open to children of students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community.
