The 11th Annual Zombie Walk & Canned Food Drive is happening this Saturday, October 12th, at the Fort Walton Beach Landing with everything kicking off at 4 pm.

This family-friendly event is to benefit the local food pantry – Sharing & Caring.

Everyone is encouraged to bring four canned goods and you’ll receive a game card to walk around Downtown Fort Walton Beach with and hit each spot on the map.

In past years there have been over 900 “zombies” out there walking for a good cause. Bring your completed card back to the Landing at 6:30pm and you’ll be entered to win some pretty awesome prizes.

Everyone is encouraged to come in costume or you can get your makeup done at the event! Kids will enjoy trick or treating, a costume contest and plenty of fun games.

For more info, find the 11th Annual Zombie Walk & Can Food Drive event on Facebook.
