Nightmare on Elm Street? More like Party on Hillsborough Street: The annual Hillsborough Street Trick or Treat event returns on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Grab your best costume and round up the whole family for some Halloween fun, with:

  • Candy stations along Hillsborough Street, from Pogue Street to Logan Court (full maps will be available at both check-in booths)
  • Activities + games in Compiegne Park
  • Trunk-or-treat in the parking lot by the “Welcome to Hillsborough Street” mural
  • Themed giveaways

Plus, kids can go on a candy-filled adventure with an interactive comic book experience again this year. Pick up a comic book at either check in point, and head out on a quest with witches, warlocks, collectible stickers, and exciting activities along Hillsborough Street.

Hillsborough Street Trick or Treat is free to enter, and trick-or-treat bags will be available while supplies last. Many local restaurants and businesses will be open during the event, so stop in to support local biz on your way.

Eat, drink + be scary
