This Friday, one week before Halloween, the Town of Fort Myers Beach will host \u201cFright Night\u201d at Bay Oaks Park. It will be the first rendition of the Halloween event since Hurricane Milton spoiled plans last year. <\/p>\n

The event starts at 6 p.m. and will include a costume contest, candy for children, an inflatable maze obstacle course, inflatable axe throwing, a bounce house, games, food truck, music and prizes.<\/p>\n

The cost to enter is $5 per family.<\/p>\n

Town of Fort Myers Beach Communications Director Nicole Berzin said the inflatables will include a \u201cwizard castle\u201d with double slides, a bounce house along with a climbing wall inside the castle to get to the slide.<\/p>\n

There will be a \u201cBoo Maze,\u201d an inflatable Halloween-themed maze for children to walk through to find a way out.<\/p>\n

There will be a 35-feet \u201cAll Star Obstacle Course\u201d equipped with tunnels for children to climb through, a mini wall to climb over, and hanging bumpers to run through.<\/p>\n

There will also be inflatable soft foam axes with Velcro for children to throw, that are safe for children.<\/p>\n

In addition, there will be a \u201cMini Jurassic World\u201d for children four years of age and under to slide into a ball pit, jump on a mini bounce house, with foam blocks to build with, and mats to play on without getting knocked over by the bigger children.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include a \u201cPumpkin Bounce,\u201d a Halloween themed bounce house.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The inflatable maze is a kid friendly Halloween themed maze.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFright Night is one of Bay Oaks\u2019 most popular events of the year, bringing families, friends, and neighbors together to celebrate safely in a fun and festive environment,\u201d Berzin said. \u201cThere will be a trunk-or-treat, games and inflatables, costume contests, food trucks, music, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Volunteers are still welcome, the town announced. Those interested in helping with inflatables and games can contact Erin Adkins by email at\u00a0EAdkins@fmbgov.com\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event will run to 9 p.m. at Bay Oaks, located at 2731 Oak Street on Fort Myers Beach.<\/p>\n
