Bluffton’s Spooktacular Celebration: A Night of Fun and Safety!

On October 25, the charming town of Bluffton transformed into a vibrant playground of creativity and community spirit during its fourth annual Safety Spooktacular at Oscar Frazier Park.

From enchanting princesses to spooky ghosts and heroic superheroes, the park was alive with laughter and joy.

A Community Tradition Reimagined

The Safety Spooktacular isn’t just your average Halloween celebration. It started as part of a National Night Out, a cherished occasion aimed at fostering relationships between the public and local first responders. Three years ago, the Bluffton Police Department decided to mix in a bit of Halloween fun, creating a special night focused on both community engagement and festive celebration. “Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s event,” a town spokesperson expressed. “We hope everyone enjoyed meeting their first responders and grabbing a few treats. The costumes were phenomenal!”

Fun for All Ages

This year’s event was truly a family-friendly affair, attracting residents of all ages to connect with their community’s first responders. With a lively trunk-n-treat area, a captivating deejay spinning tunes, and a chance to meet various community groups focused on public safety, attendees had plenty to enjoy. The event also showcased over 30 local agencies and non-profit organizations, all working hand-in-hand to ensure the safety and well-being of Bluffton residents. Each organization took the opportunity to distribute important safety information along with festive Halloween candy.
