  • 70 businesses and merchants hand out goodies
  • Thousands of kids
  • Costume appearances in the E Street Plaza 

Davis Downtown Treat Trail is the event of the Season that entertains youth and adults who come in amazing, entertaining and even outrageous costume to see & be seen on Halloween. For those strictly looking for the candy treats the timing of the event makes it possible head for parties and neighborhood canvassing after the Downtown party which ends at 6 p.m.

However, with over 70 shops and merchants handing out goodies, kids can make a pretty good haul with enough candy to send them into a sugar high for weeks.

While locals attend the Downtown Treat Trail faithfully, there's also a influx of guests from cities nearby who love the vibe and show up to be part of the excitement. The streets are packed with costume-clad kids and adults and the creativity is apparent everywhere.  Traffic's definitely an issue so come early to find parking spots or be prepared to park further away and walk.
