PHOTOS: BareBones Halloween 2017 (Hidden Falls Park)

by Twin Cities Arts Reader - October 30, 2017

One of the Twin Cities’ great Halloween traditions is BareBones Productions’ annual outdoor show. For 24 years, The Annual Halloween Outdoor Puppet Extravaganza has brought giant puppetry, music, and storytelling to delight audiences young and old. This year’s show takes place in Hidden Falls Regional Park in St. Paul, MN. Here are ten photos of the action (all photos by Basil Considine):

A giant skeleton scratches a turtle’s chin.

Glowing narwhal whales flit through the seaweed.

A school of fish flits through the darkness.

A demonic apparition with wings of fire.

A band of giant floating skulls in front of a pirate ship.

A giant skeletal lizard moves across the field.
