Spooktacular Anniversary Festival Event Info
Hold on to your broomsticks, Marinanites, it's time for the Day 400 Anniversary.

Those of you who've been with us for some time might remember the anniversary festivals for day 300 or even 200, and we're following tradition with another festival for day 400. This time we're lowering the temperature and painting the trees a bright orange for a good old fashioned Halloween Festival! All in good fun, of course... or is it?

Ready to get all the details? Of course you are!

Costumes: Costumes will be available and even encouraged, whether home made or picked up in one of the many stores. Be warned though, some of the costumes may come with a side effect of a curse, effectively turning you into whatever or whoever you're dressed as! This can mean walking around with real kitty ears and tail for the day, or passing through furniture because you decided to be a boring sheet ghost - or something else! It's all up to how you wish to interpret it!

Activities: The Wardens have read up on scary organic traditions and are setting up a real treat for you - literally. There will be bots around with baskets of candy, ready for trick or treaters. You are of course encouraged to trick or treat each other as well! There's a haunted maze set up in the Sector 5 graveyard, complete with spooky animatronics and mood setting lights. If you're not looking to be spooked quite so much you're welcome to join the festivities in Sector 0, where more tame activities like bobbing for apples, face painting and pin the tail on the Jersey Devil has been set up. You'll also find a crafts table where you can make your own spooky masks, make a spider out of pipe cleaners or maybe carve a beautiful grin into a pumpkin!

Food and drink: Other than a veritable avalanche of sweets and candies available throughout the dome, the food carts in Sector 0 will also have season appropriate treats such as pumpkin pie, spiced apple cider, graveyard brownies and pumpkin spice pumpkin cookies. If you're looking for something not quite as sweet, may we suggest the green spaghetti with meat(eye)balls, or perhaps a few hotdog fingers?

Dance party: What would an anniversary be without the dance party at the end of the evening? A dance floor will be constructed on the beach, illuminated with fire pits, torches and the occasional lost spectre. There'll be spooky themed drinks available (no cocktail without eye of newt!) and a good selection of danceable tunes.

Volunteers: Want your character to earn some extra points? The Wardens are more than happy to take on volunteers to help the bots decorate the dome and set up the activities! Maybe your character has a special skill they can put to the test, like scaring small children or telling ghost stories?
