We have another Spook-tastic Halloween event in Downtown Skokie. The Skokie Chamber of Commerce, Village of Skokie, and Kaleidoscope Dance and Movement Center proudly bring to you this fun and engaging community event that have been going on for over 10 years. This is one of the best events that brings the Skokie business district together with the residential audience. Last year we had 4,000 residents walking the downtown Skokie area!
This annual event starts with students of School District 69 and their art project that gets posted into the merchant windows of all Downtown Skokie businesses participating in this event. On Saturday October 26, from 1-3pm, all residents and their families are invited to dress up and walk the streets of downtown Skokie, trick or treating from business to business who set up a candy and activity station, including some music/DJ stations, in front of their stores. Vacancies and non-participating businesses will be occupied by additional community supporters who are not centrally located in Downtown Skokie.
The Trick-or-Treating route starts on Oakton St. at the Crafty Beaver parking lot, next to the Skokie Swift Oakton stop and extends West to the intersection of Lincoln Ave. where the Trick-or-Treating continues North to the St. Peter Catholic Church and South to the intersection of Galitz St.
Kids can pick up Trick-or-Treat bags at the Crafty Beaver starting point or Krier Plaza courtesy of North Shore Community Bank & Trust / Wintrust Bank.
