Some haunted hearts felt empty this year because of Queen Mary’s Haunted Harbor’s missing presence in Long Beach, but luckily, Shaq is here to fill that void. The Lakers legend is getting into the spooky spirit and he wants everyone to join in on the fun!
Shaqtoberfest is the ultimate Halloween bash that offers two incredible experiences right in front of the iconic ship. One of the spooky events takes place in the evening, while the other takes place after 8 P.M. or as they call it their Witching Hour. By day, there will be trick-or-treating spots, play zones, and other family-friendly festivities. At night, the entire place is transformed into a Halloween spectacle filled with monsters, spooky antics, and music galore.
“We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with Shaq and ABG Entertainment for a truly unique Halloween experience” Chris Strafford, CEO and founding partner of producer Thirteenth Floor Entertainment, said in a press release. “Shaqtoberfest will be unlike any other Halloween attraction that we have ever produced, and we couldn’t be more excited to be launching it at one of the area’s most well-known locations and show our fans what we’ve created for them. Not to mention, we’re really excited to be able to produce an event in Long Beach, which has a long running history of hosting amazing Halloween celebrations.”
Shaqtoberfest attractions include:
- Diesel’s Pumpkin Patch – a family-fun play zone by day, and an incredible EDM light show by night.
- Midway Madness – a street carnival full of rides, games, and fair food.
- Lost City Boardwalk – a boardwalk full of souls stuck in the 1920s.
- Shipwreck Graveyard – vessels haunted by undead of the sea.
- Dead Man’s Wharf – marine fisheries and creepy bait shops.
- Pirates Cove – here you’ll find buried treasure hidden somewhere in the dark alleys and caves of a waterfront village that’s been overrun by pirates.
- and so much more!
