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!
