Prepare for a spine-chilling spectacle like no other! The 2024 SBC Zombie Walk returns on Saturday, October 12th, and this year they’re inviting not only the living dead but also their Fiendishly Furry Friends. Join the Bossier Arts Council for an unforgettable event at East Bank Plaza from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, where the whole family – and their pets – can revel in a hauntingly good time.
The theme this year is Little Pet Shoppe of Horrors, where Putrid Pooches, Festering Felines, and even Skeletal Serpents are all welcome. SBC Zombie Walk continues its tradition of celebrating the creepy and kooky while giving back to the community.
They’re thrilled to partner once again with the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana to collect non-perishable food donations and fight hunger in our region. Zombies can also make a difference by donating blood to the LifeShare Blood Center. This year, they’re proud to also support the Shreveport-Bossier Animal Rescue, raising funds to help our local furry friends.
Highlights of the 2024 SBC Zombie Walk
- Costume Contests for Humans and Pets: Show off your gory garb in the Annual Zombie Costume Contest (ages 12 & up) and the Children’s Zombie Costume Contest (ages 11 & under). Bring your best-dressed pup to compete in the Dog Costume Contest, judged by local pet experts from Howling Hotel & Spa.
- Live Music from Local Favorites: Groove to spooky tunes with performances by Dr. Maxamillion, a local rapper and producer, followed by the ethereal sounds of Holy Witch, a Shreveport-based psychedelic rock band.
- Macabre Vendor Market: Discover unique and spooky wares from vendors like The Vampire Court of Shreveport, Steve’s Snaketuary, and Ogletree’s Oddities.
- Delicious Food Trucks: Satisfy your undead cravings with BBQ from Pearlz BBQ, refreshing treats from Boba Xpress, and Halloween-themed cotton candy from Cotton Candy Crush.
