Please join Downtown Henderson for the 13 Days of Halloween!

Starting on Monday, October 19, 2020, take a picture of you or your child in costume at a downtown business and post it online to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/hendersonncdowntown under the PINNED Halloween Post. Be sure to tag the downtown business for a chance to win great prizes! You may take pictures outside or inside the business.

Downtown businesses and restaurants will be open per their usual hours, but there will be no walking trick-or-treating allowed like years past.

Instead of limiting Halloween to one night, and to prevent a large gathering of people, we are stretching out this event to give everyone time to take part while also social distancing. We will miss seeing everyone in costume in person, so we want you to fill the Downtown Henderson page with your pictures!

Please be respectful of downtown merchants and their decorations. If you go inside a business, do not expect candy. This is designed to just allow the kids to be in costume and still get out and show it off!

Please note there is a DRIVE-THRU trick-or-treat event (click here) with candy at the Henderson Police Department on Thursday, October 29. Garnett Street will remain open to street traffic, unlike past years when it has been blocked for pedestrian use.

Residents are encouraged to comply with local and state orders by focusing on low-risk activities such as decorating, limiting activities to the people you live with and holding virtual costume parties or contests.
