THE MARIANAS MONSTER MASH
DCCA takes Halloween to next level
The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs is hosting The Marianas Monster Mash, a Halloween event created for our islands to showcase a variety of costumes and bring some fun and excitement to the community.
“I am really excited. This will be the first year of this event and we really wanted to coordinate something different, so that after families go collect candy at the various traditional spots, they can come down and participate in the parade. I think it will be an exciting event for our visitors and it happens to be the case this year that it’s on a Street Market Night. We are going to incorporate the costume contest, scarecrow contest, and it has a potential to be a much bigger event,” said DCCA Secretary Robert Hunter.
The Marianas Monsters Mash will officially kick off on Halloween night with a “walk, roll and dance” parade beginning at the American Memorial Park and ending at the Garapan Street Market. Following the parade, will be the Costume Contest, the announcement of the Scarecrow Show winner and Halloween Row.
DCCA invites the public to register for The Marianas Monster Mash. Registration is free and open to everyone.
The Marianas Monster Mash is made possible through partnership with the Office of the Mayor of Saipan, Marianas Visitors Authority, Department of Public Safety, Department of Fire and Medical Services, Commonwealth Health Care Corporation, Women’s Affairs Office, Indigenous Affairs Office, Youth Affairs Office, Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, Motheread/Fatheread, Commonwealth Office of Transit Authority, National Park Service-American Memorial Park/Pacific Historic Parks, DCCA Child Care Licensing Program, DCCA Division of Youth Services, DCCA Commonwealth Respite Service Program, DCCA Sports and Recreation, and DCCA Commonwealth Council for Arts and Culture.
