Why Locals Love It
The square is compact, so families can do a full candy loop in an hour or two, snap photos by the courthouse, and wander into downtown shops. Boo Bash sits just off the square with simple carnival-style games and a friendly crew of volunteers. The vibe is low-stress and neighborly—more “see your friends on Main Street” than “fight for parking at a mega festival.”
Plan Your Evening
Arrive a tad early
Streets get lively right before 4:00 PM. Park a block or two off the square and stroll in. Bring a small tote or pumpkin bucket—many businesses hand out candy quickly in the first hour.
Do the square, then drift to Boo Bash
Circle the square for treats (4–6 PM), then wander to 122 W. 3rd St. for Boo Bash games and the 6:00 PM costume contest.
Stay for a relaxed weekend
Once the candy bags are full, the night is young. Autumn is a sweet time to turn this into a weekend getaway —quiet streets, starry skies, and hot coffee on a Victorian porch.
