 COSTUME PARTY:

You're invited to wear a fun costume in celebration of Halloween! No problem if you come dressed as yourself. We'll also have festive decorations, candy, and other surprises.

We cultivate a respectful and fun environment for all, so don’t come to the PICD party wearing offensive or disrespectful costuming. One example: Don’t wear costumes based on ethnicities and nationalities other than your own. (See the video below for more information on that.)
