This past Saturday as part of local Day of the Dead celebrations the annual Night of 1000 Pumpkins was held in Dottie Harper Park.

This annual event began in 2009 as part of the closing gala for the Burien/Interim Arts Space (B/IAS) that was located near Town Square Park in downtown Burien.

This year’s event was special as many of the organizers and artists that brought B/IAS to life returned to help increase the interactive and performance art involved in the celebration.

BTB’s photog Michael Brunk was at the event and shot the following video and photos.
