The largest event of the year and an annual tradition, the Halloween Parade is fun and free for all ages.
On Sunday, October 26 (11am-2pm), families are invited to Rockridge for Trick-or-Treating at over 40 district businesses and to join in a host of activities and special offers to celebrate Halloween.
Local businesses are bringing the Halloween fun with a spooky haunted Rockridge Market Hall-oween, mini soda floats at Ben ‘N Nick’s, community ofrenda building at Xocolate & Confections, craft tables at multiple locations, along with a host of sales and promotions. That is in addition to the two fun hubs where kids can get crafty and musical.
