The City of Newport invites the community to its expanded Trick or Treat Ghost Walk on Halloween this year. This free family-friendly event will weave trick-or-treaters on a haunted journey through City Hall, the 60+ Activity Center, the Recreation Center and the Aquatic Center that combines some spooky surprises and plenty of sweet treats! Trick-or-treating will take place between 4 and 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, with the ghost walk path beginning at City Hall located at 169 SW Coast Highway.
From pumpkin patches to creepy lagoons, this event will combine multiple City of Newport facilities and departments to give trick or treaters of all ages a one-of-a-kind experience on Halloween. All public parking lots and roads will be open in the area, and city staff and volunteers will be available to help guide trick or treaters along the path.
City Hall has hosted trick or treating for a number of years, but this is the first time the event is expanding to include the other surrounding city departments and facilities. “We wanted to offer a community event on Halloween that is fun, family friendly, safe, and maybe a little bit spooky. There are so many creative team members throughout the city’s departments, and they’re excited to transform our city facilities for this experience,” said Newport City Manager Nina Vetter.
“This is also a great opportunity for our community members to meet a lot of the city staff. We’ll be wearing our costumes and handing out candy, and we can’t wait to see all the imaginative costumes from trick-or-treaters!” Put on your best costume, round up your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, and come to Newport City Hall on Halloween between 4 and 7 p.m. for the Trick or Treat Ghost Walk to get your fill of frights and sweets.
