There are plenty of fun events for families in the northeast as Halloween approaches.

The Marguerite Riel Centre (MRC) is hosting the Halloween Family Dance Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Kerry Vickar Centre.

Perry Opoonechaw with the Centre told northeastNOW the event will be a lot of fun.

“We’ll have quite a bit of stuff going on, like the live music from 40 oz. Philosophy, we have the 360-photo booth, a couple of prizes for best dressed, the best dancer,” Opoonechaw said.

There will also be a canteen, and raffle draws at the event.
