You’ve been asking, and ALBB can confirm, a Halloween Parade Weekend is happening in Beacon. Sponsored and organized by Gatehouse Realty, which is connected to COMPASS, this event is an extension of the spirit of Halloween Parades in years past, where businesses participate to hand out candy to kids. Only this year (as with last year), there is a Seek and Find game involved with prizes.

Halloweekend Event Schedule

All are welcome to dress up in costume and walk down Main Street.

• Main Street Trick of Treating and Black Cat Scavenger Hunt

• Each business with an orange pumpkin in the window will have a black cat hidden in their store. Find the black cat and get your passport stamped.

• Win Grab Bag Prizes for every 15 stamps collected!

Passports available for pickup at participating stores, then can be redeemed for Grab Bag prizes.

To redeem your prize after collecting 15 stamps (sounds like one can collect groups of 15 stamps for multiple prizes), visit these locations:
