Join us at the Onset Bay Center for our third-annual Halloween Paddle Parade! Dress up in your spookiest or most creative costume, and paddle with your crew around Wickets Island, guided by Onset Bay Center staff. This family-friendly event is FREE and open to all members of the community!
Participants may bring their own board, kayak or other paddle craft, or book one of ours! Register here, and let us know if you'll be bringing your own paddle craft and paddle or would like to borrow one of ours. Kayaks and paddleboards are limited, and pre-registration is required to use OBC equipment.
*This is a guided event, not a lesson. Participants should be comfortable on the craft they are using*
