Trick-or-Treat! Boo-Palooza in downtown Wheaton will be the perfect afternoon Halloween celebration for your kids.
The Downtown Wheaton Association is hosting Boo-Palooza on Saturday, October 26, 2019 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
It’s the perfect, all encompassing Halloween event for children, jam packed in a three hour afternoon at Martin Memorial Plaza on Front Street.

The schedule is as follows:

Costumes are highly encouraged, for all ages and your pets, too! Enjoy what our beautiful downtown has to offer while making memories with your family.
What I REALLY love about this event is that they are participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project. The Teal Pumpkin raises awareness of food allergies and promotes inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season. If your child has specific allergies, non-food treats will be available at the trick-or-treating locations.
