The County Park is the location of the witches dance on the beach the morning (10:00am) of the 31st. The dance will take place on the beach in front of the Dunes House. There will be ample parking at the Park.

The witches will be distanced, masked, and costumed. Additionally, they will have their brooms, and be ready to dance around the smoking caldron complemented by last year’s carnival music and dance steps! Witches may be accompanied by a guest that will enjoy the viewing and celebrate the witchery, revelry, and festivities.
Upon registration you will receive an email with the music and dance routine. Email will be sent from cjolley@cityoffollybeach.com by October 21st.
Costume Contest
The Costume Contest will begin at 2:00 pm on October 31st at the Community Center. West Indian Street will be closed near Center to provide sufficient space and distance. We will need to organize the sequence of the participants by selected scheduled times. Please be on time and prepared to be judged. As a result of the pandemic and regulations if you have not signed up prior to this event, you may not participate. The categories for the contest are:
Ages Infant to 4 years
5 to 8 years

During the contest trick or treat bags will be distributed to all participants. Please be advised that no gathering may occur, therefore, we will need to be efficient with the judging, distributing of the bags, and designating of the awards. All award winners for the House/Property Competition and the Costume Contest will be notified and posted on the Home Page of the City website.
