Hosted by the McKinney Sip & Stroll Series, the Spooktacular Brews and Boos event is a great way to celebrate the season while tasting some of the best local craft brews. The event is held in the heart of historic downtown McKinney and is perfect for a date night or an outing with friends. Like other McKinney Sip & Stroll events, Boos and Brews isn’t just a chance to taste local brews, it’s also a way to give back to the community. Proceeds from the event go toward local nonprofits and support a range of charitable causes.

This year, the Spooktacular Brews and Boos walk will take place on Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Participants are highly encouraged to wear their best Halloween costumes and can win prizes for the spookiest and most extravagant outfits.

When you arrive, you’ll receive a special tasting glass branded for the event. You’ll also get a map that shows your route through downtown so that you can make sure and visit all of the event’s vendors. This year, the walk will feature 20 participating locations, each serving delicious beverages. While the focus is on local craft breweries, there will be plenty of options if you prefer something different. If you want to enter the costume contest, be sure to enter at the tent near the entrance.

Aside from great beverages, you’ll be able to browse offerings from local vendors at the pop-up market at the McKinney Performing Arts Center. There will also be a photo booth so that you and your friends can make some memories and document your costumes. Tickets are $30 dollars per person and can be purchased online. Be sure to get yours early, as they can sell out quickly.

Halloween Costume Goat Yoga

Yep, you heard us right: Halloween-themed goat yoga is coming to McKinney this fall. If you’re wondering what that means, let us explain. During these events, you’ll have the opportunity to take a yoga class, surrounded by a flock of baby goats. The goats will be dressed up in their best Halloween costumes, and you won’t want to miss out. This event is perfect if you’re a yoga aficionado with a love for animals, and all the proceeds directly benefit the animals and a range of local nonprofits.

This year, there will be two different Halloween costume goat yoga events in McKinney. The first is hosted by HUB 121 and will take place on Sunday, Oct. 16. If you want to attend this event, be sure to bring your own mat and dress for the outdoors. The venue will provide beach towels, water, and sunscreen. The event is open to everyone, and children over the age of five are welcome to participate with an adult.

The next goat yoga event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 23 at TUPPS Brewery. While it’s a good idea to dress for the weather, you’re welcome to wear your costume.
