Each year volunteers at Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids (GCGR) transform the clubhouse into a free friendly haunted house. From 1-4 p.m. on Oct. 28, families are encouraged to participate in spookily exciting activities during Halloween Noogiefest at GCGR located at 1806 Bridge Street NW.
This year the event will culminate in a special appearance by Cirque du Soleil aerialists, performing on silks and a lyra (aerial hoop). Their performance will include an interactive portion.
Halloween Noogiefest is open to kids of all ages and their families. Those attending can participate in ghoulish games, crafts, and enjoy creepy cuisine. There will be professional pumpkin carving demonstrations and raffle prizes. Attendees are encouraged to wear costumes.
Please note: GCGR asks costumes not include weapons or masks that fully cover the face or head.
Noogieland is named after the noogies that Gilda Radner used to receive on “Saturday Night Live.” Noogieland is a special place in the clubhouse at Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids where kids can be kids, connect with other children and families, and see that they are not alone.
Thanks to the Michael and Christina Rosloniec Family, Halloween Noogiefest is free and open to the public. RSVPs are encouraged but not required. Those wishing to attend can contact info@gildasclubgr.org or call 616-453-8300.
