On Saturday, October 30, 1999 from Noon until 4:00 PM, Chelsea Piers proudly presents The Fourth Annual Chelsea Piers Halloween Carnival, a free, fun-filled event for kids of all ages. The carnival will take place, rain or shine, on Pier 62, Chelsea Piers, 23rd Street and the Hudson River, New York City.

Last year this event attracted over 10,000 people. Because of that enormous response, and the enthusiastic reception that all Chelsea Piers events are getting from the general public, this year's Halloween Carnival will be bigger and better than ever! Featured at the event will be over 30 sports-related and traditional carnival games, a preschool gymnastics area, miniature golf, face-painting, our legendary Haunted Ship (with a cast of a dozen "creatures" aboard), and many life-size costumed characters to delight the kids!

In addition to carnival games run by the Golf Club, Sports Center, Sky Rink, Field House and Roller Rinks (two each), plus an extensive carnival midway, additional carnival games are sponsored and run by the Big Apple Circus, Old Navy, the Broadway musical Beauty and the Beast, New York Rangers, AMF Chelsea Piers Lanes, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York Theatre Ballet, and the Broadway musical Footloose. Other participants include New York University, Welsh Farms, and the Broadway musical Ragtime.

The day will also include our fabulous Costume Contest (last year over 900 kids participated). Medals will be awarded by clowns from the Big Apple Circus. Other activities will include "The Pumpkin Patch," where kids can paint their own jack o'lanterns, "Dana's Famous Fruit Loop Necklaces," and an exciting special performance by the cast of the Broadway musical, Kat and the Kings.

Everybody receives an Old Navy Halloween Trick or Treat bag when they arrive, and kids win something each time they play a carnival game. Fabulous major door prizes (including tickets to New York Giants football, Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, restaurants, etc.) are given away throughout the event. Lots of great American food will be available for purchase.

Presenting Sponsor of the Halloween Carnival is The Dime Savings Bank of New York. Event sponsors are Old Navy Clothing Co., Y-107 New Country and the Big Apple Circus. The Fourth Annual Chelsea Piers Halloween Carnival is one of a series of FREE events produced each year by Chelsea Piers. For more information please call 212.336.6881.
