Scare on the Square 2026

Are You Ready for a Scare on the Square?

Get ready for a frightfully fun evening in Downtown Washington! Scare on the Square returns with Halloween fun for kids, teens, families—and even your four-legged friends.

Bring your bucket or treat bag, put on your best costume, and join us for Downtown Washington’s annual Trunks of Treats extravaganza!

Halloween Fun for Everyone

The evening will feature:

• Trunks of Treats
• Kids & Teens Costume Contest
• Pet Parade & Costume Contest
• Trunk Decorating Contest
• And, of course, candy, candy, candy!

Local businesses, organizations, and community members are invited to join the fun by decorating a trunk and handing out treats. Parking spaces for the trunk display must be reserved in advance.

Want to participate in the Pet Parade & Costume Contest? Be sure to sign up ahead of time.

Use the registration QR code on the event flyer to reserve a parking space for the trunk display and/or register for the pet parade.

Come early, enjoy Downtown Washington, and get ready for a spooky good time on the Square!

Scare on the Square is sponsored by Washington Main Street.
