Westfield’s Trick-or-Treating in the Plaza returns to Grand Junction
Submitted by City of Westfield
Get ready for a frightfully fun good time. Trick-or-Treating in the Plaza, Westfield’s Halloween extravaganza co-presented by Centier Bank and NSPIRE Church, returns to Grand Junction Plaza on from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24.
This free trick-or-treating community event will feature more than 40 booths distributing candy and other treats to children of all ages. Costumes are encouraged, but everyone is welcome to join in on the not-so-spooky fun, costume or not.
“My kids don’t trick-or-treat anymore, but Trick-or-Treating in the Plaza is still one of my favorite fall traditions,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “It’s the perfect blend of neighbors coming together, local businesses serving the community, and families enjoying a safe, memorable evening.”
Those who are ready for a fun challenge can purchase a Ghoulish Game Card for $5. The game card will grant players access to five carnival games including pumpkin bowling, spooky skee ball, and witch hat ring toss, as well as spooktacular prizes. Cards can be purchased in advance online or at the event, cash and card will both be accepted on-site. All proceeds benefit Family Promise of Hamilton County. Free face painters and balloon twisters will also add to the fun.
At 6:30 p.m., the Great Lawn will transform into an outdoor movie theater, featuring Hotel Transylvania, on the big screen. All are encouraged to bring their blankets and lawn chairs.
Free parking will be available in designated on-street spots along Union Street and Mill Street, as well as in the public lot at Park and Poplar Streets. For your convenience, a free courtesy shuttle will run throughout the event between the Westfield Washington Public Library, 17400 Westfield Blvd., and Grand Junction Plaza.
