October 2024

Case Community Park

The 14th annual “Boo” Halloween festival will return to Sand Springs in 2024. Formerly known as Boo on Broadway, the event will be Boo at Case Park for the sixth straight year in its new location.

The festivities will feature a costume contest, trunk-or-treating, and more.

Boo on Broadway was first held in downtown Sand Springs on October 29th, 2011. The trick-or-treating festivities coincided with Fright Night at the old powerhouse at 225 South Main Street. The Chamber of Commerce put on Boo on Broadway while the Fire Department hosted Fright Night. 

By 2013 the event had expanded to include coffin races and pumpkin carving, and attracted more than 2,000 visitors. Cecil and Sons Discount Tires was one of the earliest sponsors of the event and the coffin races were the brain child of Cecil's representative Troy Cox. 

By 2016, local churches were the most heavily involved organizations in the event, leading to the transfer of hosting duties from the Chamber of Commerce to the Sand Springs Ministerial Alliance in 2017. 2017 also saw the end of the coffin races. They also added bounce houses and dunk tanks.

In 2019 the event was moved from downtown to Case Community Park and renamed “Boo at Case Park.” It is hosted by the Sand Springs Local Church Network.
