The Castle Island Association is holding its 36th Halloween celebration at Fort Independence on Castle Island Saturday and Sunday, October 27 & 28, 2018, between 12:00 and 4:00 PM, weather permitting. Children of all ages – and those young at heart – are cordially invited to come to the “Children’s Magical Halloween Castle”. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Costumes are optional. ADMISSION IS FREE!
Over the past thirty-five years tens of thousands of children and adults have attended this celebration. The event offers enjoyments of all kinds from outdoor entertainers, magicians, storytellers to our “magical castle” – complete with sound effects – and free refreshments. Judging by its continuing popularity, a fun time is had by all!
The Castle Island Association firmly believes that the earlier we introduce our youngsters to Castle Island and its forts which span the entire spectrum of American history, the better it will be for the future of our nation. We hope their enjoyment and memories of the “Children’s Magical Halloween Castle” celebration as youngsters will result in a life-long interest in Castle Island and Fort Independence as historical sites. This Halloween celebration is the Castle Island Association’s way of saying “Thank You” to all who support us, especially the South Boston community. We are proud to serve our community, state and nation by giving guided tours of Fort Independence and hosting this event without charge and without any cost to the taxpayer.
