Zombietoberfest

Zombietoberfest was a nice evening out in the cool weather that Saturday brought us. There was a bounce house and a big open field for the kids to run around and play, Ghostbusters was playing on a big screen in an open grassy area, there was a zombie walk, people doing zombie makeup-​which was fun, vendors, and food trucks. It was all nice but I personally would have liked to see more vendors and more activities.
I was surprised to find there was plenty of free parking in area businesses and along the streets; it made that part of the fest all the better.
We purchased a few cupcakes from Bluebird and unfortunately they were rather dry; you could tell they had been sitting out quite a while. I’ve heard rave reviews about Bluebird so I won’t fault them entirely since they did have to bake ahead of time and store them at their outside booth.
I love this time of year and Zombietoberfest was an enjoyable time out, doing something different. If you are big into Halloween and/​or zombies, I would definitely recommend a visit next year.

Zombietoberfest is a blast! We went in 2011, and again this year, 2013 (so sad we missed last year’s). Basically, it is a zombie-​themed block party. There are food trucks, a stage with music, a big screen with classic horror movies, face painting and a bounce house for the kids.
Zombie costumes are optional, so the crowd is about ½ zombie? Some people really go all out with their costumes, while others (like me) remember 30 minutes before the event and throw on some make-​up. Whatever works.
I highly recommend this event. It’s a great early start to the Halloween season! =)

Zombietoberfest was a blast. The warm afternoon cooled off into a nice night for the 2013 Zombietoberfest. This free annual festival added a presale ($ 5) wrist band this year, which got your a free ZTF cup, nice. Discounts were offered for food and beverages at many local places.
There was free Zombie Yoga, «Thriller» dance instruction, food trucks, live music, free movies, a bounce house and… ZOMBIES. And zombie babies, zombie kids, zombie dogs, creepy zombies, retro zombies, super authentic acting zombies, zombie hunters, zombie apocalypse survivors… you name it. Some of the costumes and make up jobs were unreal.
Enjoyed a bite at Bem Bom and craft brews at Redlight Redlight before heading over to Blue Bird to check out their goodies. They had Dead Velvet cupcakes, Eyeball cupcakes and Zombie ears for sale. (Chocolate dipped apricots). Seriously fun!
