NEWS RELEASE
DOWNTOWN GUELPH
*************************
Dust off your capes and witch hats because the much-anticipated Downtown Guelph Trick-or-Treat event is back for its seventh year. On Saturday, Oct. 26, from noon until supplies run out, the streets of Downtown Guelph will come alive with ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and more in this free, all-ages Halloween extravaganza.

Bring your finest costumes and set out on a candy-hunting adventure through over 70 participating local businesses, each offering their own tricks or treats. Whether you're a kid, a parent, or just a Halloween enthusiast, everyone is invited to enjoy this 'fangtastic' afternoon of fun. 

Start your adventure by picking up a trick-or-treat map at one of five locations across downtown:  

The map will guide you to all the participating businesses, but beware – once the candy runs out, the stores will be removed from the list, so don’t delay! The full list of businesses is also available on our website, so you can plan your trick-or-treating route in advance.

But the fun doesn’t stop with just candy! After filling your bags with treats, head over to The Dragon, where you can pick up free comic books. While you’re there, enter a raffle for a chance to win an incredible gift basket, packed with goodies and prizes from various Downtown Guelph businesses – valued at thousands of dollars!

For those feeling creative, stop by Play with Clay in St George’s Square, where you can participate in a free Halloween-themed clay-building activity. Whether you're sculpting spooky creatures or creating your own ghoulish masterpiece, this hands-on experience is perfect for families looking to add an extra layer of fun to their day.

This event is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween, support local businesses, and enjoy the unique charm of Downtown Guelph. Come for the candy, stay for the community, and have a wickedly good time with friends and family.
