Monster Ball

Saturday, October 25
4 to 8 PM


Monsters of all ages are invited to ScienceWorks’ annual Monster Ball, a Halloween celebration full of creativity, community, and spooky fun! The museum transforms into a festive playground with hands-on activities, crafts, workshops, performances, and more. Come dressed in your most imaginative costume and enter the contest, judged by theatre costume pros from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Held in memory of Sarah Wood, a local teen who loved Halloween, Monster Ball is a joyful tradition that brings our community together for a night of wonder, play, and just the right amount of fright.
