CONFIRMED EVENTS & TIMELINE

11:00 AM to 6:00 PM | Main Street Trick-or-Treating & Black Cat Scavenger Hunt

Families can make their way along Main Street, visiting participating businesses during their normal business hours for trick-or-treating and the Black Cat Scavenger Hunt.

Participating businesses will display a numbered orange pumpkin in their window and hide a black cat somewhere inside. Children can find the black cat and have the corresponding square on their scavenger-hunt passport stamped.
