Back in 2010...

...Issaquah Zombie Walk was born. This annual event in Historically Hip Downtown Issaquah, Washington, started with just a few friends and their families. It has grown to hundreds having fun with family and friends, and celebrating community and a wonderful town.

Come in zombie attire or arrive early for a professional makeup job. Crawl down both sides of historic Front Street, take over City Hall, and dance to Thriller and Time Warp. The event is free, open to all ages and zombies of every skill level. It is held on the last Saturday before Halloween.
