That will be during Bethlehem's 104th Halloween Parade, scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m.

Part fandom fun, part pre-Halloween warm-up, the Steel Ice Center event invites skaters of all ages to dress up as their favorite characters — such as Rumi, Mari, and Zoey.

Admission is $15 for ages 11 and up and $10 for ages 10 and under.

Skate rentals are available for $5.

The animated musical urban fantasy film "KPop Demon Hunters' follows a K-pop girl group, Huntr/x, who lead double lives as demon hunters.

They face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons.

At the Steel Ice Center event, DJ Joel Shimer will spin a mix of "KPop Demon Hunters" anthems and fan-favorite K-Pop tunes throughout the event.

There also will be group sing-alongs, dance breaks and plenty of photo-ops.

Cultural phenomenon

Steel Ice Center's themed party comes at the height of "KPop Demon Hunters" mania.

Since the film's release on Netflix in August, the Sony Animation-produced hit has shattered records, drawing 325 million views in 91 days.

"KPop Demon Hunters" is becoming the most-watched film in the streaming platform’s history.
