DON’T BE LATE

Complimentary components (candy, bags, and crafts) will only be offered while supplies last, so get here on time! Reminder, the fun begins at 12PM but Trick or Treating is from 1-3PM. There is a chance some places may run out of candy (if this is the case, don’t forget you can purchase quality treats at Coastal Cone and Boba by the Sea). Consider sticking around for lunch afterward – the harbor has everything from fast casual eateries to sit-down waterfront experiences. Although this event is FREE, paid parking will be in effect.  Consider carpooling as lots are expected to fill up!
