Thornton Park’s big Halloween Block Party returning this month

Thornton Park’s big Halloween Block Party bash is coming back this year for an 8th go-around.

On Saturday, Oct. 30, a stretch of Washington Street in the Thornton Park District near downtown Orlando will shut down to cars but open up to a massive monster mash.

The evening features DJ Blue Star, stilt walkers, fire dancers, vendors, food and spirits aplenty, burlesque, acrobats, spooky drink specials and a costume contest.

Tickets for the block party are $10 in advance through Eventbrite and $20 “at the door.”…
