Bristol's Halloween Walkabout is Sunday

Posted

The Halloween Walkabout in downtown Bristol takes place on the Sunday afternoon before Halloween, which is this Sunday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Local businesses who are members of the Bristol Merchants Association give out candy and sometimes dress up in costume. Kids up to 12 years of age, in costume and accompanied by an adult, are invited to participate.

The BMA designs a map every year for “trick-or-treaters" to follow, showing which businesses to visit for a treat. This event takes place in the downtown area but welcomes businesses outside this area to set up on State Street. Learn more here.
