What: It’s that time of year when Bashas’ Supermarkets become Spooky-markets as Arizona’s family-owned grocer invites families to celebrate Halloween at each of its 56 Bashas’ stores across the state, as well as Eddie’s Country Store in Pinetop and Food City locations in Parker and Lake Havasu City on Saturday, Oct. 27 from

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

From witches and ghosts to superheroes and cartoon characters, children of all ages are invited to show off their Halloween costumes and have a lot of fun taking part in all of the family-friendly activities in the store.

Bashas’ Halloween Party will feature:

• Trick-or-treating stations throughout the store;
• Halloween cake decorating ($5/cake);
• Caramel apple decorating ($3/caramel apple);
• Cut-out cookie decorating ($1/cookie);
• Free apple cider; and
• Tons of photo-taking opportunities!

Why: Trick-or-treating and costumes are a rite of passage during the Halloween season, and many families are looking for safe public places to bring their younger children trick-or-treating during the day. Bashas’ Halloween Party is an opportunity for children to celebrate the holiday in a safe and fun, family-friendly environment during the day. It’s also an alternative for those who prefer not to trick-or-treat door-to-door in the dark.
