Spooktacular: Ghost Walk Riverside

10.16.12

 

 

Hi friends & neighbors -

It’s baaaack and better than ever!  The Ghost Walk Riverside is coming back October 26 and 27 to entertain and spook you.  Experience the age old art of storytelling this Halloween in downtown Riverside as some of the community’s most noted speakers delight young and old with original tales of ghouls and ghosts. Ghost Walk Riverside is an adventure through some of Riverside’s oldest and most historic buildings, often with one-night-only special access to areas deep within the city.

This event also gives you the chance to support your local arts organization – the California Riverside Ballet.  Every year the CRB and the City of Riverside come together to put on this great event benefiting the CRB.  IEShineOn is also a supporter of the CRB and so glad to share this event with our friends.

This year there are six tours and each tour will begin with a special dance presentation that participants may watch more than once. Multiple dance choreography will be presented.  In addition, the Tombstone Trolley will be back offering bonus stories to all participants featuring VIP guest storytellers.

Tickets are now on sale via the website and are $15.  For IEShineOn friends use the discount “SPOOKON” to get a 15% discount off of original ticket prices.  For a group discount on purchases of 5 or more tickets, enter discount code “GROUP5″ during the checkout process (group tickets are $12 each).    Remember, this is a rain or shine event and all sales are final.
