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. **

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.
Costume Contest Fun:
At 4:00 pm, the Village Faire Shopping Center hosts the annual costume contest with prizes for categories like Spookiest and Most Creative. No matter your age or costume, there’s a spot for you to shine!
New This Year:
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.) in partnership with The Shine Project Foundation. They will be providing simple crafts, quiet games and activities, and selfie stations for anyone seeking a calmer celebration.
