Delray Beach’s most frightfully fun night is back—and what makes it truly special is that it’s dreamed up, designed, and run entirely by students. On Friday, October 24, Space of Mind will transform its historic (and officially haunted!) home into a spine-tingling Renaissance Scare Haunted House for the 9th annual SOMething Scary Block Party & Haunted House. Every chilling corridor, creepy character, and ghoulish game is part of a trimester-long project where students collaborate to create one of Delray’s most beloved Halloween events in South Florida traditions.
Beyond the haunted house, the block shuts down for a full-on carnival with a costume contest, trunk-or-treating, pumpkin patch, bounce house, live music by the No Big Deal band, chef-made treats, and festive sips from DADA. This celebration also supports the Community Classroom Project, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing learning-related stress through creativity.
