Celebrate Halloween in the heart of downtown Gloucester!
On Friday, October 31, from 5–7 PM, Main Street transforms into a family-friendly destination filled with costumes, candy, and festive fun.
Our Costume Contest returns for its second year, made possible by Chesapeake Bank, with prizes awarded in five categories: ages 0–12, 13–17, 18+, groups, and pets. Sign up online in advance or onsite during the event — entries close at 6:30 PM, and winners will be announced shortly after. Participants must be on-site to win.
Don’t miss the Halloween Window Decorating Contest! Participating Main Street businesses will deck out their windows with creative Halloween displays — and you get to help choose the winner. Stop by our Trick-or-Treat station on the House of Ren lawn to cast your vote, and check our social media after the event to see who takes home the title!
Thanks to the support of the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office, families can enjoy a safe and welcoming evening on Main Street. The road will be closed to through traffic from the Historic Court Circle to Edgehill Town Center during the event.
