North Hempstead, NY – Autumn has arrived and with it, the Town of North Hempstead is getting ready for some frightening nights, as, Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board announce the dates for one of the most popular events of the year: Spooky Walk, presented by NEFCU.

Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, swamp monsters and many of their gruesome friends will inhabit the 12-acre park at Clark Botanic Garden on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The Event will draw thousands of visitors, who will experience a smoggy, spine-tingling walk through the realm of fear and fright that will be Clark Botanic Garden. The cost of admission is $5 per person.

On October 24, telescopes, exhibits and hands-on activities will be provided for star gazing children by Hofstra University's Astronomy Outreach Program in partnership with the Amateur Observer¹s Society of New York. Equipment is funded through a NASA astronomy outreach grant to Hofstra University and will allow children to see close-up views of the planets, and colorful double stars.

Spooky Walk may not be suitable for young children, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Younger children can enjoy the Not-So-Spooky-Walk on Sunday, October 25, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Not-So-Spooky-Walk¹s price of admission is $3 per person. Not-So-Spooky Walk will also feature the NEFCU Kid Zone with lots of fun activities and performances by the Silly Magician.

Featuring more than 12-acres of planted, well-manicured grounds, Clark Botanic Garden, located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson, is the perfect setting for North Hempstead's ultra-popular annual Halloween extravaganza.
