This year, the Town of Merrimack is celebrating its 275th Anniversary and so we are combining our Annual Halloween Party with an extra special birthday party blowout and making this year's event even bigger than before, called the Sparkly Spooktacular!   

The event will feature a variety of local businesses & community organizations with free games and activities from 2:00 - 5:00 pm.  From 5:00 - 6:30 pm, we will have a special concert in the Park; which will then by followed by a spooktacular fireworks display on the Football Practice Field at Wasserman Park at 6:30 pm provided by Atlas Pyro Visions Entertainment. 

WHAT WILL THIS YEARS EVENT LOOK LIKE
This year's event will be held entirely outdoors at Wasserman Park and will be spread out in the Park with activities taking place between the softball field (by the playground), basketball court area and the T-Ball field. We will not be limiting the capacity this year but will try to spread out all of the activities spread out to avoid congestion.

COSTUMES ENCOURAGED:

While there will not be an official costume contest this year; we encourage everyone to dress up and show off their costumes. There will be a photo booth that attendees can have their picture taken. Photos will be posted to our Facebook Page after the event. 

FOOD AVAILABLE:

Food will be available for sale during the event. This year all food will be provided by Merrimack based Non Profit Organizations.  As they begin to register we will list them below along with what they will be selling. We hope that you will support these organizations.
