Trick or Treating in Downtown Highland Park

Head to Downtown Highland Park on Thursday, October 24 for some “spooktacular” Halloween festivities! Retailers throughout the central business district of Downtown Highland Park will be handing out candy to costumed kids trick or treating from 3:00 to 5:00 pm as a fun and safe way to celebrate Halloween. Enjoy the festive hocus pocus and treats while shopping through the 130+ retail locations in Downtown Highland Park!

But beware, the fun doesn’t stop there! Stop by Port Clinton Square from 3:00 to 6:00 pm where families can enjoy live music, hayrides, pony rides and train rides for children. In addition, Renaissance Place will be hosting a number of exciting Halloween-themed activities. Enjoy a photo booth, cotton candy, tattoos, a DJ, and street entertainers.

Don’t miss your chance for FREE money at American Enterprise Bank! They will be hosting a Money Machine where kids 14 and under can go in and grab as much cash as they can. Children must be over 48” tall and be accompanied by a parent or guardian to participate. While you’re there make sure to enjoy hotdogs, popcorn and Pete the Pirate who will be making animal balloons!

The Highland Park Library will also be hosting a trick-or-treat extravaganza from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Costumed children will have the opportunity to fill their candy bags in both the Youth Services Department and at the check-out desk where library staff will also be handing out small prizes.
