The New York Power Authority (NYPA) will hold its annual Halloween Harvest Festival at the John S. Dyson New York Energy Zone on Saturday, October 26, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

 

The free community event will feature pumpkin decoration stations, mask-making crafts, “trunk”-or-treating in NYPA electric vehicles, bounce houses, a scavenger hunt and a costume parade. Costume parade participants will have the opportunity to win candy and prizes.

 

Additionally, special guests from classic Halloween movies will be in attendance during the event.

 

Located next to the Utica Zoo off the Memorial Parkway in Utica, The New York Energy Zone is a fully immersive and hands-on science center designed for visitors of all ages, guiding guests on a powerful journey through the past, present, and future of electricity. Visits to the 15,000 square-foot facility kickoff with an eye-popping 3-D movie—directed by legendary filmmaker Douglas Trumbull—about famed inventor Nikola Tesla and his contributions to modern electricity systems. This sets the stage for more than 40 interactive displays and games that include flying a drone, checking transmission lines, operating a power plant, and building a tabletop microgrid. The Energy Zone is open every day, 10 am to 5 pm, and free of charge.
