Foot Soldiers Park’s annual Candy Walk will be happening on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 2-5 p.m. at the Future Home of Foot Soldiers Park (1705 Selma Ave.).

This year, they’re bringing back the vibrant energy of the 90s, inspired by In Living Color.

The Candy Walk is a cherished tradition in Selma. It provides a safe, family-friendly environment for our youth to celebrate the Fall season. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for local businesses like yours to connect with families and showcase their services.

  • Nonviolence Pledge: In honor of the International Day of Nonviolence on October 2nd, we’ll host a series of creative and interactive activities that allow participants to reflect on and express their commitment to nonviolence
  • Friendship Bracelet Making: A fun 90s-themed activity for kids to create their own friendship bracelets.
  • Bounce Houses: Offering a safe and enjoyable play area for children.
  • Live Entertainment: Featuring music, contests, and performances throughout the event.
  • 90s Costume Contest: Show off your best 90s-themed outfit for a chance to win prizes.
  • Best Decorated Table Contest: Compete for prizes by showcasing your 90s-inspired table decorations.
