Zombie Walk
The meat hits the pavement when 20,000 ghouls pack downtown Long Beach. The goal: to beat the Guinness World Records’ reigning zombie gathering (4,093 folks) and to ensure no other town comes close to taking the laurels from Long Beach. Johnny Vatos Boingo Dance Party, a band featuring some former Oingo Boingos, will serenade the grateful dead.
The undead return to Long Beach for the 4th time, this time taking over downtown Long Beach for a full day-long street fest and WORLD RECORD attempt!
The world record stands at 4,800 in Seattle, WA – Long Beach, we can do better! Come all day for fun and music, but be sure to join us on Broadway & Pine at 8pm sharp to march, stagger, and lurch down Pine!!
