Halloween Celebration Starts Saturday In Canton

CANTON, CT — Halloween used to be a single-day holiday on Oct. 31.

But as one Canton event attests, the scary and fun holiday has evolved into a month-long season, with the first community salvo of Halloween happening locally on Saturday, Oct. 14.

That's because the fourth annual Collinsville Trick or Treat event will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. featuring costumed kids and families looking for sweet treats from downtown Collinsville businesses.

In addition, the event — sponsored by MamaBear Organics and Canton Main Street Inc.— will feature games, music, costume judging, arts & crafts, candy, and more.

To accommodate all that holiday revelry, Main Street will be closed from Canton Green to Market Street.
