Get ready for a spooktacular Halloween treat in Downtown
Northville, Michigan! The annual Streets of Treats event is set to bewitch the town on Saturday,
October 26, 2024, from
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This family-friendly extravaganza is a must-attend for all Halloween enthusiasts and is proudly featured in our "
Halloween Guide 2024."
A Trick-or-Treating Wonderland
Imagine a crisp autumn morning in Downtown Northville, where the streets are alive with the excited chatter of little ghouls and goblins. The air is thick with the scent of pumpkin spice and the promise of sweet treats. This is the magic of Streets of Treats, a Halloween tradition that transforms the heart of Northville into a trick-or-treating paradise.
The event spans Main Street between Hutton and Wing Street and Center Street between Dunlap and Mary Alexander Court. It's like someone waved a magic wand and turned the whole downtown into one giant candy bowl!
Not Your Average Candy Run
Streets of Treats isn't just about filling up pillowcases with sugary loot (although that's a big part of it). It's a full-blown Halloween party where local businesses and organizations pull out all the stops to create a memorable experience for visitors.
Picture this: You're strolling down Main Street, and suddenly you're face-to-face with a friendly witch handing out glow-in-the-dark stickers. Turn the corner, and you might find a pop-up haunted house or a group of zombies doing the "Thriller" dance. It's like Halloween threw up all over downtown, and we mean that in the best way possible!
Fun for All Ages (Even You, Dad)
While the kiddos are the stars of the show, Streets of Treats is a blast for the whole family. Parents, this is your chance to dust off that Batman costume that's been hiding in the closet since college. And hey, if you're worried about cavities, some businesses hand out non-candy treats too. Your dentist will thank you later.
The Details
Now, let's talk logistics. The event is free and open to the public, so there's no need to break the piggy bank. It kicks off at
10:00 AM sharp, giving early birds the worm (or in this case, the full-size candy bars). The fun wraps up at noon, just in time for lunch – if you haven't already filled up on Snickers, that is.
For Businesses: Join the Boo Crew
Calling all Northville businesses and organizations! Want to be part of the spooky fun? You can set up a treat station and join the Halloween hijinks. It's a great way to show off your Halloween spirit and connect with the community. Plus, it's an excuse to wear that ridiculous costume you bought on clearance last November.
There are two options for participation:
- Downtown Businesses: If you're lucky enough to have a storefront in the designated treat district, you can join for a mere $25. That's cheaper than a fancy pumpkin spice latte addiction!
- Other Businesses and Organizations: For those outside the main drag, you can rent a 10x10 station. It's $100 for Northville Chamber of Commerce members and $150 for non-members. Think of it as an investment in good karma and sugar-fueled goodwill.
Just remember, this isn't a yard sale. You're there to hand out treats, not hawk your wares. But feel free to slip in some marketing materials along with the candy. Sneaky? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.
The Fine Print
Before you go all out on your Ghostbusters cosplay, there are a few rules to keep in mind:
- Bring your own everything: decorations, tents, tables, chairs, and about 3,500 treats. Yes, you read that right. 3,500. Northville kids have big appetites and even bigger trick-or-treat bags.
- Get creative with your station. The more over-the-top, the better. We're talking fog machines, spooky soundtracks, and enough fake cobwebs to make a spider jealous.
- Register by October 24, 2024. Procrastinators, you've been warned!
Why You Can't Miss This
Streets of Treats is more than just a candy grab. It's a chance to see Downtown Northville at its quirkiest and most charming. Where else can you see a tiny T-Rex high-fiving a fairy princess while a group of adults dressed as the cast of "Stranger Things" hand out chocolate bars?
It's a day when the whole community comes together to celebrate the weird, the wacky, and the wonderfully spooky. Plus, it's a great excuse to eat candy for breakfast. Don't pretend you haven't thought about it.
So mark your calendars, dust off your costumes, and get ready for a Halloween adventure that's sweeter than a king-size candy bar. Streets of Treats in Downtown Northville is the place to be on October 26, 2024. It's going to be a scream!
