Ghost and goblins return to downtown Gville Thursday

Little ghosts and goblins will take over downtown Gainesville Thursday as Main Street Gainesville’s Trick or Treat on the Square returns.

It begins at 3:00 and continues until 6:00 with a costume contest planned at 5:30 on the stage on Main Street. The contest will be held by age categories: 0-4, 5-8, 9-12, and there will be judging for Best Group/Family Costume.

Balloons will mark those businesses participating and if they run out of treats the balloons will be removed. Click here for a list of participating businesses and more information: Trick or Treat on the Square | Explore Gainesville
