VOTE NOW www.facebook.com/LongBeachNewYork,
The City of Long Beach and the Chamber of Commerce are once again partnering to present the 3rd Annual Halloween Decorating Contest for homes and businesses. If Halloween is your favorite holiday and you love to see how creative the residents of Long Beach can be, you won’t want to miss this Spook-tacular event!
We invite the residents and business owners of Long Beach to decorate their home/store fronts for Halloween to show their love for Halloween and do their best to “OUT BOO” the other competitors! Register to be placed on a digital map which we will be shared on social media and the City and Chambers websites.
Residents and visitors are invited to use the digital map to visit registered homes/businesses. Make a night of it! Or two! Visit each home and pick your favorites; visit local businesses or enjoy dinner at one of Long Beach's amazing restaurants before touring the Halloween displays throughout town.
In addition, photos of the registered homes and businesses will be posted on Facebook, where the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite. Prizes will be awarded.
Voting on Facebook takes place between Saturday, October 22 and Monday, October 31.
Vote for Resident Homes on the City’s FaceBook page at www.facebook.com/LongBeachNewYork
Vote for the Businesses on the Chamber FaceBook page at www.facebook.com/LongBeachNYChamberOfCommerce
This year’s contest will only be judged online on Facebook.
