Costume Contests for All Ages
Children aged 12 and under are invited to participate in the Town and Treat costume contest.

Well-behaved, leashed dogs are also welcomed in a “Best Dog” costume contest, making it an inclusive event for the whole family, including pets.
Winners in each costume category will receive special trophies and prizes, providing an extra incentive for attendees to get creative with their costumes this Halloween season.
Parking and Weather Considerations
Event organizers would like to remind attendees that parking at the Town Center is free; however, due to limited on-street parking availability, garage parking is recommended for those planning to join the festivities. It is crucial for families to arrive early to secure a parking spot, as the event is expected to attract many visitors.
In the case of inclement weather, all outdoor activities will be canceled to ensure the safety of attendees. Therefore, participants are encouraged to keep an eye on the weather forecast prior to the event.
