Safest Places in Greater Danbury to Take the Kids Trick-Or-Treating
Thursday is Halloween and we've got a list of places in Greater Danbury that are offering safe trick or treating for your kids.
Halloween has become one of the most popular holidays, and why not? There's no other holiday in which you can go to someones house and get free candy. What a sweet deal. With that being said, there's also concern with little ones going to strangers' houses, even when accompanied by parents.
So here's a list of "safe" trick-or-treating events being planned in and around the Greater Danbury area.
Trick-or-Treating at Stew Leonards in Danbury
There's Halloween Day trick-or-treating event at Stew Leonards' on Federal Road in Danbury. On Thursday, October 31, children who come to the store in their costumes will receive a free ice cream.
Mall Wide Trick Or Treating at the Danbury Fair Mall
Thursday October 31st, bring all your ghosts and goblins to Danbury Fair's mall-wide trick-or-treat event from 4 PM until 6 PM. Candy and other treats available at participating retailers while supplies last. This event is for kids 12 and under, and no masks will be allowed inside the mall.
Trunk-or-Treat on the Town Green in New Milford
Billed as a "safe alternative" to trick or treating. Instead of trick or treating in your neighborhood, people are asked to register their vehicles, decorate them, and then park around the town green on Halloween night from 5:30-7:30. Owners of the cars then pass out candy as children "trunk or treat" from car to car. This type of event is becoming more and more popular in our local communities.
It's the Norman Rockwell Halloween Experience in Kent
On Thursday, October 31st, businesses on Main Street get into the spirit with decorations and handing out candy. Children then walk over to Elizabeth Street for trick or treating from home to home. Don't miss the Thriller Flash Mob at 7 pm on Main Street.
Trunk-or-Treat at The Goddard School in Danbury
On Saturday November 2nd from 10:30 AM until 12 PM, come in costume and join the Goddard School for the annual Trunk or Treat. This event is rain or shine in the covered parking garage. The Goddard School is located at 39 Old Ridgebury Road in the Summit Cooperate Park in Danbury.
