Are you looking for a family friendly event to go to during the day on Halloween, and maximize your child’s intake of candy? Then Treat Street is perfect for your family! If there is one thing that we can count on Chico for, it's that its constantly providing amazing local events that are always a hit. Aren’t you thankful you're living in Chico? Keep on reading for the details.
When and Where?
Treat Street is on Monday, October 31st from 2 to 5 p.m, held in downtown. While streets will be open to traffic, crossing guards will be on hand to help. The candy is distributed by local businesses that are located downtown and have chosen to participate in the fun-filled event. Look for posters that read “Treats Here” in windows and doors of the downtown businesses. When you find those businesses, you'll also find their employees outside the doors handing out candy to children who are dressed up in costume.
Who?
Treat Street is for children 12 years of age and younger. Children are required to wear a costume and to have an adult chaperone. Even though the Chico Rotary Club members will be there to help keep the crosswalks safe, every child must be accompanied by an adult.
Is There A Costume Contest?
Of course there's a costume contest! Sign up for the contest at the City Plaza between the hours of 2 to 3:45 p.m. The entry fee is $5 per child. All participants get an award to show how much Chico appreciates the locals participating in this annual tradition. Great prizes will be given to the three best costumes in each of the four divisions.
These divisions are:
Kids ages 0-3Kids ages 4-7
Kids ages 8-12
Themed Family/Group
Doesn’t all of this sound like fun? So mark your calendars now to attend Treat Street and start planning your family’s costumes. For more information on local events check our Events Page on the Living in Chico website. We blog about apartment living and local Chico events we know and love.
