Halloween night in the Deco District is a ho-o-owling good time. All the little ghosties and ghoulies on the prowl for goodies on Halloween night visit participating City Center merchants for trick or treat. The event is designed for costumed kids under 13 with accompanying parent or guardian, but the cool parents do costumes too!

2007 saw an estimated 300-350 little ghosties and ghoulies (plus parents, many in costume too) take part in the second annual Halloween night. The record number of trick or treaters visited 25 participating locations to fill their bags with candy and goodies. A souvenir guide map showed where the loot was and provided some educational info about the Deco District. CCNA volunteers, citizen crossing guards & the Newport Police, Fire and Street dept.s all worked to make the evening a safe & fun time for the community.

In 2006, an estimated 150-200 kiddos (plus parents, some in costume too) took advantage of some great Indian Summer weather at the inaugural City Center Halloween night. Trick or treaters visited 11 participating locations. A souvenir treasure map showed which merchants to visit to get the goodies.
