ARCATA -- Everyone is welcome to join Arcata Main Street for the Annual Trick or Treat On & Around the Arcata Plaza at 4-6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31. Come down to the Plaza in costume and help infuse the downtown with the Halloween spirit!

Bring your ghosts, goblins and ghouls to the Arcata Plaza for a safe and neighborly trick or treat experience. Children and all members of the family are invited join our Halloween costume contest. Winners in four categories (two years and under, three to four years, five to eight years and nine to 12 years) will get treats and great prizes from downtown merchants.

New this year: Crowd favorites the Marching Lumberjacks will lead the parade of lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) around the Arcata Plaza at 5 p.m., giving children a chance to show off their costumes. At the close of the parade, everyone is invited to indulge in a sweet treat on the Plaza’s center, courtesy of Arcata Main Street and Safeway.
