A Hallowe’en party with a difference is being staged for all the family this weekend.

The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute is the scene for costumes, surprises and family fun galore including Hallowe’en-themed films in its auditorium throughout the afternoon, and the popular costume parade at 3pm with prizes for several categories.

It all starts at noon in BUEI on Saturday with free entry for adults and youngsters under 2, and $20 for older children when purchasing in advance. It costs $25 at the door.

The festivities run until 4pm with fun for all ages including a variety of games and activities, a special meet and greet with Mermaid Cora and mad scientist experiments.

Participants are urged to dress up in their most creative Hallowe’en costumes, and make BUEI part of your Hallowe’en tradition. Tickets can be purchased at buei.org.
