Halloween Inspired Activities
Dressing up as your favourite character gets amplified when in Mission. Whether your favourite may be Archie and the gang, X-Men superheroes, Percy Jackson, or maybe even if you are a Team Edward or Team Jacob stan from Twilight, you will have the perfect backdrop for your costumes and photos. In fact- they'll be the same backdrop that was filmed in each respective movie! Most popularly seen in Mission, the Archie Comics characters have taken over to Rocko's Diner by storm, where the infamous "Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe" of the Netflix series 'Riverdale' set originated from. Take in the eclectic vibe, and enjoy Riverdale-inspired menu items like the J. Jones Burger or Archie Shake!
If the broom fits, fly it! The Energy, Wisdom and Tea Lounge, located in Steelhead doesn’t only serve some ridiculously good beverages and treats, but they also have a small retail section which includes metaphysical books, candles, and crystals for all the witchy vibes.
