Kiwanis Club of Greater Lowell has been serving the community since 1917, dedicating thousands of volunteer hours to assist youth in the city and promote growth. To celebrate over 100 years of service, the “100 for 100” scholarship campaign is in place to provide scholarships in the Merrimack Valley in honor of Henry G. Sykes, a Kiwanis volunteer for over 50 years. As a result, several scholarships have been awarded to students to encourage them to further their education. The club has been involved with several events and programs in Lowell such as, Bringing up Grades, Bike Safety Rodeo, and Halloween’s Monster Bash.
The annual Halloween event, Monster Bash, taking place next Saturday October 26th from 12-3 p.m. Monster Bash celebrates Halloween by transforming Lowell High School into a haunted house, with a costume contest, and a variety of family activities and local food. Monster Bash includes a downtown trick-or-treat trail to participating downtown businesses. The stroll is the perfect opportunity to trick-or-treat and experience Lowell in a spooky atmosphere.
If you are looking for more places to trick-or-treat, Mill No. 5 also opens its businesses and marketplace to tick-or-treaters on October 26th, from 12 to 4 p.m. Trick-or-Treat Yo’self will have an arrangement of self-care goods available in the market place on the 5th floor, with the 4th floor being reserved for the trick-or-treating. The Oddity Market opens again on November 2nd at 12 – 4 p.m. to finish the theme of the strange and dark.
The official City of Lowell trick-or-treating hours will be on October 31st from 6 – 8 p.m.
