2024 Trick or Treat Stroll

In celebration of Halloween, bring your kids to Downtown Evanston on Saturday, October 26, 2-4PM for trick-or-treating at local businesses! Stroll around Downtown at your own pace, and stop in at participating businesses for candy and other Halloween goodies. Meet up at Fountain Square (the plaza north of Davis Street) to pick up your official Trick-or-Treat Stroll map and get started.
The trick-or-treating is free, and fun and creative costumes are encouraged!
