Halloween is a time for shadows and chilling wind, a time for laughter and frightful sneers of pumpkin faces, a time for Trick-or-Treating! This favorite tradition of All Hallow’s Eve is alive and well in the Rogue Valley this year. So, if you are brave enough (and have enough of a sweet tooth,) there’s plenty of spooky Trick-or-Treating fun to be had!

On Halloween, the Rogue Valley Mall will be holding the Halloween Kids Fest & Trick-or-Treating event, with face-painting from 4 – 6 pm, selfie stations from 4 – 8 pm, and of course Trick-or-Treat spots throughout the building from 6 – 8 pm. Enhance your costume with flashy face paint, and capture your new Halloween memories for years to come.

In Ashland, you’ll find the Children’s Halloween Celebration. Kids of all ages will have a chance to walk in the annual Halloween Parade, enjoy various entertainments, and collect tasty treats from participating local businesses. This event takes place on Tuesday, October 31, beginning at 3:45 pm. Children in Grants Pass will similarly be able to enjoy the Safe Halloween Downtown 2017, with local businesses taking part, and live remote with KLDR/KAJO Radio station. This event, on October 31 2017, goes from 3 – 5 pm.

The Rogue Valley YMCA will be holding a Trunk-or-Treat event this year. From 6 to 8 pm on the 31st, friends and neighbors can enjoy all the fun of the Trick-or-Treating experience from the trunks of the many decorated cars on display! The Community Bible Church in Central Point will have a Trunk-or-Treat event of their own from 6 – 8 pm on the 31.

Costumes, candy and scares are what many of us first think of when we think of Halloween, and for many families Trick-or-Treating is the perfect opportunity to mix all three together, and create wonderful (and frightful) new memories. Trick or treat! Smell our feet!
