Reading Rec's Downtown Trick Or Treat This Wednesday

Reading Recreation's 5th annual Downtown Trick or Treat will be held this Wednesday.

Calling all ghouls, girls and boys! Hop in your costumes and head to downtown Reading to enjoy a spooktacular late-afternoon filled with fun and lots of treats and candy! Local businesses will be open and ready to greet your trick or treat from 4-5:30 p.m.

Participating businesses will be identified with a pumpkin decoration on their store front. Participants are free to start anywhere they would like on the route and don't forget to stop by the Pleasant Street Center (Senior), Police Department, and Town Hall to show off those costumes and pick up some goodies. This is a free event and is for kids up to the age of 13. All participants should be accompanied by an adult.

The 20th annual Reading Rec Halloween Parade takes place Sunday, Oct. 28 at 11:45 a.m. at Coolidge Middle School. Reading Residents are invited to attend this wonderful event. Tots and youth, up to the age of 10, are eligible for this event. The Halloween Parade will begin and end at Coolidge Middle School. All participants must wear their Halloween costumes. All families are welcome. Parents can dress up too. Please join Reading Rec immediately following the parade for a special performance.

Both events take place rain or shine.
