Who doesn’t look forward to Highlands’ annual celebration of Halloween? The event will be held on Wednesday, October 31 from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m., and offers fun for everyone. Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, a Mission Health Hospital, is the proud sponsor of the All Hallows Eve Celebration this year.
Jackie Medland, President and Chief Nursing Officer of the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital says, “It is our great pleasure to be the presenting sponsor of this year’s Highlands Area Annual Halloween Festival. At Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, our mission is to always provide each patient, family and team member with the best care, every time. We are passionate about our community and look forward to being a part of this area-wide celebration.”
Speaking of celebration, Halloween in Highlands is a dose of fun for everyone. Families look forward to this annual outing where everyone lets their hair down a little, puts on their beautiful, creative or zany costume and heads downtown for a night of comradery and fun. This strolling parade of the scary and not-so-scary brings out kids of all ages, and more than a few pets in their cutest or wackiest costumes. Expect to see zombies, skeletons, witches, pirates, brides, ghosts, princesses, Minions, superheroes and more than one clever take on the pop culture icons of the day.
Get dressed in your favorite outfit or mask, get moving and join the hospital and family and friends in doing the Monster Mash on Main Street. Local merchants will be handing out sweet treats to all the revelers and you’ll find that many embrace the spirit of the evening with decorated storefronts and more than a few clever costumes.
This evening is truly fun for everyone, young and old. Even those with no children will enjoy strolling and people watching. As in years past, there will be classic Halloween themed music on Main Street, plus free hot dogs and drinks.
