Historic Roser Park, St. Pete’s first neighborhood, will rescheduled its big Halloween event for November 29 in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. The November event will carry a Nightmare Before Christmas theme and we are all for it. The festivities will run from 4pm-9pm — and you can get the latest updates on the event page.
The organizers wrote the following: “If you purchased ghost tour tickets, your tickets are still valid for the Nov 29 date. Email treasurer@historicroserpark.org if you will not be able to make the new date and need a refund.” They continued, “This was a very difficult decision to make because we really do believe that this event can truly help our community and small businesses during a time of need. Our top concerns were the safety of participants and how well the event would function given limited resources after Helene and Milton.”
