“There are so many great Halloween events for families across Connecticut, but we want this year’s Star 99.9 Goodwill Trick-or-Treat Day to be the one your kids are still talking about on the ride home, and probably the next morning, too,” said Kevin Begley, Program Director of Star 99.9. “It’s one of those days where everyone can dress up, have fun together and make some really great Halloween memories. We can’t wait to see all the costumes, eat some candy and celebrate with everyone at the Discovery Science Center.”

By combining the excitement of Halloween with the hands-on experiences of the Discovery Science Center, Star 99.9 Goodwill Trick or Treat Day offers families an opportunity to enjoy much more than a traditional afternoon of collecting candy. From meeting beloved characters and dancing with DJ Kevin to exploring the center’s exhibits, there’s something for children of all ages to discover.
