Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources Department is celebrating its 16th Annual Goblin Gathering in conjunction with National Night Out at G.T. Bray Park. National Night Out is a program to strengthen neighborhood spirit and create police-community partnerships to make our community a safe place to live.

Bring the family and join in the fun! Enjoy face painting, hayrides, bounce houses, and a costume contest. Parental participation and trick-or-treating are FREE. $5 wristbands will be on sale for children to participate in other activities. Food vendors will be on site with food for purchase. While you’re there, swing by the SCGLR information booth to learn more about Mind in the Making and Vroom.
