This year’s October walk will have a theme! Think of your favorite character from movies, cartoons, anime, comics, manga, television, sports, video games… and ZOMBIE it up! Come as a zombie version of any character to help make San Diego’s biggest zombiewalk even scarier as we stroll through
the Gaslamp!

– The zombiewalk begins at 5:30PM sharp, so do NOT be late.

HOW:
– As always, the walk is ALL-AGES and FREE of charge to participate. The zombiewalk is open to everyone who shows up as the undead. Bring your grandparents, bring your kids, bring your dog! Remember… the more the scarier!
– Please come dressed and made-up as a zombie. If you need makeup/supplies, please visit Gypsy Treasure, in La Mesa, and tell ‘em ZOMBIEWALK:SANDIEGO sent you… they may hook you up, if you do!
– Do NOT bring extra blood/anything messy to the meeting location with you. You may NOT leave blood on the ground in or near the meeting location. You will be asked to leave if you are seen doing so. Please respect our local community. Being a “zombie” does not excuse you from common courtesy.
– We strongly encourage you to get creative with your own outfit & makeup BEFORE the walk as there will be NO onsite assistance with zombification.
– Please be sure to check out our walk guidelines. They are important to make sure we have a walk that is fun & safe for everyone involved and/or watching… and ensures our ability to continue holding zombiewalks in San Diego. We’ve had a great seven years, so let’s make sure we can have many more!
