Thousands of Arvadans participated in one of Olde Town’s most favorite traditions: Trick or Treat Street.
The festivities returned with aplomb this year, with tons of local businesses participating by handing out candy and decking out their shops with spooky decor. As kids paraded around town, a few new things were in store this year.
This year’s iteration of Trick or Treat Street featured two Thriller Dance Moms, a DJ and a Tribal Dance.
Olde Town Arvada Business Improvement District Executive Director Joe Hengstler said he was glad to see how the event has grown.
“This is one of our businesses’ favorite events of the year,” Hengstler said. “We absolutely love how the community comes out in such large numbers to take part in the festivities. One of the coolest things is how the event has evolved over the years with the addition of Thriller Dancer Mobs, A DJ (DJ Depth) and Tribal Dance.
“This growth wouldn’t be possible without the support of the businesses and our sponsors, so a special thanks to Larson Ski and Sports and Quantum Fiber for being presenting sponsors this year,” Hengstler continued.
