RENO — The annual Monster Mash 2022 Halloween event spooks the streets on Saturday with magic tricks, bounce houses, trunk-or-treat, dozens of vendors, and haunted houses.
There will be no games this year, but city deputy commissioner Mary Workman said the event will feature a magician and balloon show.
There will be costume contests for children and adults in three categories, including the scariest and the most original, Workman said.
Trunk or Treat is also back with added flair and lots of free treats.
“We’ve got some people bringing things other than cars to hand out candy, and that’s going to be great,” Workman said. So they are doing their best.”
Cars participating in Trunk or Treat will also have their own contest with trophies, she noted.
“At the end of the trunk-or-treat line, a small haunted house appears,” Workman said. “Our public works department is putting it together. A fun addition to this year’s trunk-or-treat.”
The city’s deputy commissioner said 19 vendors and multiple food trucks have signed up this year, including Kona Ice, Paris Chamorro and Dam Yankee, which will bring in additional shake trucks and car trucks. .
McKinney-based magician Greg Ka Zam will present a magic and balloon show from 1-3pm, while local folk dance group Paris Krogers will perform a step dance at 3:45pm .
The city’s Halloween Festival is one of Reno’s largest municipal events. The Parks and Trails Commission holds multiple workshops throughout the year to plan and organize events.
Vendors and trunk-or-treat volunteers are still being accepted, and interested applicants are encouraged to contact Reno City Hall and speak with the city’s assistant secretary, Workman said.
The Monster Mash of Reno 2022 event will take place Saturday from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM at Reno Kiwanis Park at 6820 Pine Mill Road.
