NC Aquarium Fort Fisher
Trick or Treat NCAFF
This year, Trick-or-Treat Under the Sea will sport a new look as the Aquarium partners with Green Halloween, a community initiative focused on creating child- and Earth-friendly holiday traditions. In an effort to make Trick-Or-Treat Under the Sea a Green Halloween event, the N. C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher will host a costume exchange.
The Aquarium will collect donations of gently used costumes during the month of September. We encourage you to clean out your closets of costumes from years past and bring them to the aquarium Sept. 1-31. On Oct. 1, families are welcome to visit the Aquarium between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to select a new costume from those donated. Costumes are free and available while supplies last (limited to one per child). Any leftover costumes will be donated to Vintage Values.
Additionally, visitors to the annual Trick-Or-Treat Under The Sea on Oct. 26 and 27 will receive eco-friendly treats from Aquarium staff. Trick-Or-Treat Under The Sea vendors will also compete to incorporate more eco-friendly materials into their booth decorations.
Green Halloween and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums are partnering in approximately 50 zoo and aquarium Halloween events in 2011. At these events more than 1 million units of healthy and eco-friendly treats and treasures will be given away across the country.
We hope to see you sporting your new look at 2011 Trick-Or-Treat Under The Sea!
