Calling Village Businesses: Join the Halloween Fun this October!

Spooky season is officially underway, and Carlsbad Village is getting ready for a day filled with costumes, candy, and family-friendly fun! Halloween in the Village returns on Saturday, October 31, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, bringing the community together for a festive celebration throughout downtown Carlsbad.

One of the highlights of this annual event is safe, business-to-business trick-or-treating, giving families the opportunity to explore the Village while visiting and supporting local businesses. From creative costumes and sweet treats to games and activities, there will be plenty of Halloween excitement around every corner.

In addition to trick-or-treating, families can enjoy complimentary pumpkin candy buckets for the first 250 children at CalRes Homes, carnival games and activities hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad, and the annual Halloween Costume Contest at Village Faire Shopping Center. Lily Field Realty will also offer allergy-friendly treats and sensory-friendly activities to help make the celebration welcoming for all.

Safe trick-or-treating throughout the Village is generously sponsored by Phoenix Sports and Le Papagayo Carlsbad.

Village Businesses, We Want You to Be Part of the Fun!

The Carlsbad Village Association invites all Village businesses to participate in this year’s Halloween celebration by becoming an official Candy Stop!

Each participating business will also receive a special Candy Corn window icon to display, making it easy for trick-or-treaters to identify official Candy Stops.
