When you are out trick or treating and are in need of a snack (not the candy you are carrying), stop by a Taco Bell for a free Black Jack Taco.   Participating Taco Bell restaurants across the country will be giving out free tacos from 6pm to midnight on Halloween, October 31st.

The new taco with the black shell debuted on the menu earlier this month and contains seasoned beef and Pepper Jack sauce.  A perfect snack and great time to try it!

Green Port Fest is the Port of Long Beach’s annual open house. It’s a chance to educate the community about the port’s vital role in the economy and ground-breaking environmental programs.

There will be more than 70 booths and exhibits, children’s activities, entertainment, food, boat and rail tours and much more. The best part is that the Fest is FREE!

Some of the activities featured at the festival will be a children’s playground with face painting, eyes under the sea - spotlighting underwater robots, big machines-checking out the yard hostlers that move the heavy containers under the sea and what lives in the harbor spotlighting the wildlife that calls the Port of Long Beach home.

The Long Beach Green Port Fest will be held on Saturday, October 3rd from 1oAM to 3PM. Green Port Fest is held at the Port Administration Building, but there is no on-site parking. Instead, park at the Long Beach Convention Center and hop on one of the free shuttles.
