BAAY and Boundary Bay Brewery Present: The Nightmare on Maple

Come one, come all to The Nightmare on Maple! On October 27-28 and 31, the Boundary Bay Brewery beer garden will be transformed into eerie scenes filled with ghosts, ghouls, and surprises at every turn. This Halloween event is all-ages from 6-9 PM and, during that time, features Zombie Dancer performances at the BAAY Theatre. Attendees can also head down to Boundary Bay for the “Haunted Fear Garden” (entry at the alley off of Maple St). The fear garden becomes 21+ only from 9-11 PM, with more mature content. Admission is $10 general and $5 for kids ages 12 and under.

This is a fundraiser event, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth (BAAY). BAAY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the exploration of the arts. Providing access to the arts is one of BAAY’s core values. Thanks in part to community fundraising events like this, BAAY has never turned a child away from its theatre or after-school enrichment programs.

We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
