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!

EVENT IS FREE, BUT PLEASE REGISTER HERE!

Special thanks to BrightView Landscape Services, Goldfish Swim School, Hagerty Consulting and First Northern Credit Union for sponsoring this year's Trick-or Treat Stroll in Downtown Evanston. Please stop by their booths and say "hi" when you meet-up at Fountain Square.
First Northern Credit Union will have free reusable totes for your trick-or-treating!

Join One River School (1033 Davis St.) to paint pumpkins after you are finished trick or treating. Event is free but please RSVP.

Please note that not all businesses are participating in this event, so be sure to look for the Trick or Treat posters on the windows or doors.
Some businesses may also have candy outside.

Share your photos with us on Instagram by tagging @downtownevanston and using #DTEHalloween to be entered into a raffle to win a $50 Evanston Gift Card! Follow along on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date, and please sign up for our newsletter here.

If you're driving into Downtown Evanston for the Trick or Treat Stroll, we recommend parking in the Sherman Plaza Self Park garage--it's only a block away from Fountain Square. Please follow this link for information about parking.
