Safe Trick-Or-Treating In Carlsbad

Then, head out to visit participating candy stop businesses, all throughout the Village, who will be sporting a brightly colored candy corn icon in their window. Keep in mind that many businesses downtown will be handing out treats, so be sure to also keep an eye out for generous candy bowls. CVA’s mobile walking map will also help you locate candy stops, so check back here for updated locations just prior to the big day! (If you are a business interested in being an official candy stop listed on the walking map, please contact chanel@carlsbad-village.com.)

Carnival Games & Bounce House

From 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, the Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad Village (3115 Roosevelt St.), will be hosting carnival games of all kinds, both indoors and out. Come have some fun in their bounce house and grab $1 Cotton Candy. No entry fee.

The Costume Contest

Visit the Village Faire Shopping Center (located at 300 Carlsbad Village Dr.) for lots of business-to-business trick-or-treating, great photo opportunities, and live music. Starting at 4:00pm get ready for their fantastic costume contest for kids of all ages with great prizes.

Sensory & Allergy Friendly Calm Zone

New this year is the Sensory and Allergy Friendly Calm Zone (2:00 pm to 6:00 pm) hosted by Engel & Volkers Carlsbad (2965 Roosevelt St.). They will be providing simple crafts, quiet games and activities, and selfie stations for anyone seeking a calmer celebration. They will also offer indoor sensory spaces, as well as a private nursing and changing room for parents who need to tend to little ones.

In addition, Engel & Volkers Carlsbad will serve as a registered Teal Pumpkin Project site offering non-food treats to make Halloween safer and more inclusive for everyone, especially kids with food allergies or other medical conditions.
