Thousands of families gathered in Historic Montgomery for the 6th annual ‘Trick or Treat’ event, where kids in spooky and creative costumes roamed candy stations around town, celebrating Halloween with bags ready to be filled with treats.
Last Saturday, Historic Montgomery was a hive of Halloween spirit as thousands of costumed children and families participated in the 6th Annual 'Trick or Treat Historic Montgomery.' Young trick-or-treaters, costumed as superheroes, ghouls, and beloved characters, traversed the city center with candy bags in hand.
Parents and grandparents participated in the festivities, with some even donning costumes themselves.The town was dotted with candy stations, and local businesses were distributing treats as children eagerly traversed Liberty Street in quest of Halloween treasures.
Nicole Ellison, whose children each selected their own costumes, stated, "They just picked their own." "Benjamin has an affinity for dinosaurs, Dallas desired to project an intimidating demeanor, and Travis is fond of turtles."
The costumes were as diverse as the treats, with inflatable suits, spooky spirits, and a few inventive headless characters that stood out in the throng. The atmosphere was vivacious as families, nostalgic for their own Halloweens, relished witnessing the next generation embrace the tradition.
Montgomery County launched its America 250 celebrations Sunday with a Liberty Tree dedication and a reenactment of Patrick Henry’s famous speech. The event marks the start of a nationwide initiative leading up to the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026.
