Coligny Halloween Carnival

Author: Teresa Fitzgibbons

“It will be a Happy Halloween,” says Renay McClain, marketing director of Coligny Plaza. “It’s a childhood fantasy Halloween come true.”

McClain is referring to the annual Coligny Plaza Halloween Carnival, on the evening of Oct. 27. The public is invited to Coligny’s kiosk area to enjoy a myriad of merriment and trick-or-treating throughout the Plaza.

Festivities include games and prizes, a deejay and costume contests for all ages. A highlight is the Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Booth and hat giveaway. Previous carnivals have also included dunking booths and ghost stories.

Merchants go all out for the event. Many are dressed in costume amid spooky decorations. Family fun activities at the Art Café, cookie decorating at The Coligny Bakery and “Witches Brew” served up by Just Pasta have been favorites in the past.

“I love the Halloween Carnival,” says Lois Kaiser, owner of The Bird’s Nest. “Last year, we gave out over 450 bags of candy, and even many of the parents were dressed up.”

Coligny Plaza’s Halloween Carnival is a safe alternative to traditional trick-or-treating. Awnings and walkways provide protection from the weather, should it be needed. The “block party” atmosphere surrounded by the natural beauty of Coligny Plaza creates a true old-fashioned carnival atmosphere.

“It’s our biggest event,” says McClain of the hundreds expected to attend. “There couldn’t be a more perfect place to celebrate Halloween.”

When: Friday, October 27th
Where: Coligny Plaza
Time: Trick or Treating Starts at 4pm

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), now entering their third year , has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, MySpace) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
