Manatee County to host its annual ‘Goblin Gathering’

2024-10-24 01:10:04

MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) – Despite Mother Nature playing some pretty horrible tricks on the Suncoast lately, Manatee County officials are moving forward with its annual Halloween event.

The 22nd annual Goblin Gathering will be held in the wooded area of G.T. Bray Park Oct. 25, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event was scheduled for earlier in the month, but Hurricane Milton forced its cancellation.

Local businesses and community partners will be passing out “treats & sweets” to participants, providing a safe alternative for families to trick-or-treat.

Fortunately, grounds crews were able to clear the debris, and organizers have brought back the bounce houses, face painting, petting zoo, magician, and plenty of free candy for the rescheduled event.

The costume contest sign-up begins after 5 p.m. with judging beginning at 7 p.m. Costume Contest Categories include:

  • 1 year and under
  • 2 to 4 years old
  • 5 to 8 years old
  • 9 and older
  • Families

G.T. Bray Park is located at 5502 33rd Ave. Dr. W. in Bradenton. Visitors may access GT Bray Park from 59th St. W. or 51st St. W. and are asked to park near the Recreation Center off 33rd Ave Dr. W. Please note that no event parking is available in 51st St. Park.
