Third Annual Eureka Springs Zombie Crawl & Day of the Dead Parade
Zombie makeup and fake blood is all the rage on the evening of Saturday, November 1, when Eureka Springs experiences its 3rd annual Zombie Crawl & Day of the Dead Parade. A creeping parade procession of funeral hearses, doomsday vehicles, Halloween floats, and post-mortem street performers will lead the hungry horde of the undead. New for this year is a very special Zombie Flash Mob performance coordinated by Melonlight Dance Studio.
The event is free, and locals and visitors alike are invited to dress up and join the procession of undead. Brains and fake blood not your thing? Cruise the parade in your ghastly "grim ride," build a freaky Halloween float, or perform a scary street act!
Zombies and parade participants are asked to each bring two (or more) cans of food to benefit the Flint Street Food Bank. Participants will meet at the Carnegie Public Library at 194 Spring Street by 5:30p.m. Vehicles and floats will line up at the bottom of Hillside Ave. The crawl/parade starts at 6:30pm, and ends when the horde reaches the Basin Spring Park!
Zombies are then invited to shuffle up to Melonlight Dance Studio for the official Dance of the Dead after-party, starting at8pm. Hosted by Melonlight in their new location at 121 E Van Buren (in The Quarter Shopping Center on HWY 62, next to Harts Grocery Store), the after-party will feature the eerie electronic mashups and monsterrific mixes of DJ Testube. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The party ends at 10pm. Don't be caught dead somewhere else!
