Members of the Northwestern Spanish Club and Student Government Association will host a “SpookFest” event Thursday to celebrate the Day of the Dead.
Erika Hernandez, a junior business administration major at Northwestern, is a member of the Spanish Club. Hernandez said the idea for the event was brought up to her by one of her club members after a meeting.
The SpookFest is an event for college students to get together and relax on a Thursday night and have some fun, she said. People can dress up and enjoy some Halloween festivities.
“My favorite thing about the event is that all Northwestern students get to dress up and enjoy some Halloween fun,” Hernandez said. “This is also one of the many chances to get out and meet new people on and off campus.”
The SpookFest will offer snacks, food, and drinks. It will also have music and karaoke for anyone who wants to sing.
there will be an individual and group costume contest, yard games, sugar skull decorating, a pinata, and a photo booth.
The event will begin at 7:30 on the north side of Coronado Hall. If the weather is bad, it will take place in the Student Center Ballroom.
