One central Pennsylvania Halloween celebration is about to be “berry” fun.
On Oct. 25, Harrisburg’s first “Berry Bash” will take place at Strawberry Square, 320 Market St., Harrisburg.
According to a press release from event organizers, the event will be a “one-night-only celebration combining high-energy entertainment, Halloween fun, and community impact.” All proceeds will benefit the Harrisburg River Rescue & Emergency Services.
Tony Reigle, Chief of Harrisburg River Rescue, said the group is thankful to be getting the support from the “Berry Bash.”
“Support from this event directly helps us save lives,” Reigle said. “We’re so grateful to be part of an event that not only raises vital funds but celebrates community.”
The event, produced by Harristown Enterprises and Sara Bozich, CEO/Founder of Cheers Harrisburg, will feature a costume/best-dressed contest, live music, specialty drinks, and a silent auction featuring local goods and experiences.
The event will also feature a wide variety of hors d’oeuvres, like Mediterranean chicken skewers, Caribbean cranberry meatballs, shrimp cocktail, spinach-artichoke dip, and patrons can also make their own steak or portobello sandwich dip.
“We’ve all been to our fair share of snoozy fundraising events. Berry Bash is different — it’s bold, it’s stylish, and most of all, it’s fun,” Bozich said via press release. “People want connection, energy, and impact — and we’re delivering all three.”
The “Berry Bash” will run from 7-10 p.m. Tickets are $85 per person or $150 for a couple.
