Hallowscream at Busch Gardens is not only a thrilling Halloween event but also a special occasion for alumni of the Farley Center. This year’s celebration, hosted as an exclusive alumni event, offers an opportunity for past participants of the program to reconnect, reflect on their recovery journeys, and enjoy a night of spine-chilling fun together. The event, which marks Hallowscream’s 25th anniversary, provides a perfect backdrop for building bonds and fostering camaraderie in a festive, yet eerie, atmosphere.
The park, fully transformed for Halloween, immerses alumni in a world of frightful fun. From the giant eyeball roses to haunted houses and scare zones filled with ghouls and zombies, the excitement of the evening is palpable. For those looking for a thrilling ride, roller coasters like the towering Darkoaster offer an extra adrenaline rush in the spooky setting. And while the event delivers plenty of scares, it also provides lighter moments, with playful pumpkin displays and enchanting light shows that add to the festive spirit.
Beyond the thrills, the event serves as an opportunity for alumni to reconnect with each other and the Farley Center community. It’s a chance to celebrate recovery milestones in a fun and supportive environment. The combination of scares, laughter, and shared experiences makes Hallowscream a unique and meaningful way for Farley Center alumni to bond, celebrate their achievements, and continue building a network of support that extends beyond the program.
This event perfectly blends the fun of Halloween with the importance of community, creating memories that will last long after the pumpkins and costumes are put away.
