Downtown Lindale Trick or Treat

One More Night of Halloween Magic!

Get ready for the sweetest event of the season! Downtown Lindale Trick or Treat is back for its 5th year on Saturday, October 25th from 5-7pm, and it's going to be spook-tacular! What started as a wonderful vision by Chantel Galaz, CPA has grown into one of Lindale's most beloved community traditions. Now organized by Hazelwood Studios, this free family event brings together local businesses and hundreds of excited kids for an evening of safe, downtown trick-or-treating fun. Over the past five years, we've watched this event grow from a simple idea into a Halloween highlight that families mark on their calendars year after year.

Why We Love This Event

Downtown Lindale Trick or Treat gives kids an extra night to show off those amazing costumes while parents enjoy a safe, community-centered trick-or-treating experience. Local businesses open their doors or set up festive booths along downtown, creating a walking trail of treats and smiles. It's not about sales or promotions—it's about connection. Businesses get valuable face-time with the community they serve, kids get candy and memories, and everyone gets to celebrate together. The atmosphere is electric with laughter, creative costumes, and that special small-town spirit that makes Lindale such a great place to call home. Stick around after trick-or-treating because the City of Lindale is hosting a movie in Darden Park—the perfect way to cap off a magical evening!

Capture the Memories

Hazelwood Studios will be on-site with a festive photo backdrop, offering free professional photos of kids and families in their Halloween best! It's our way of giving back to the community while helping you preserve these precious moments. These high-quality photos make perfect keepsakes as your little ones grow—because they're only this age once! Stop by to snap a photo and see what we're all about. You can see last year's photos at our public gallery!

Businesses: Join the Fun!

Want to be part of the magic? We'd love to have you! Participating is simple and rewarding. All you need to do is provide your own candy, decorations, and setup (tables, canopies, electricity if needed)—we provide the space and the foot traffic. This isn't a sales opportunity; it's a chance to show your community spirit and make connections with local families. The smiles alone are worth it! We accept donations through our website to help with event promotion, supplemental candy, and special attractions that make each year even better. Plus, participating businesses will be featured as sponsors on this page with links to your business—a little thank-you for making this event possible. Whether you're setting up a spooky booth or decorating your storefront, your participation helps create an unforgettable experience for hundreds of kids. Let's make year 5 the best one yet!
