Merchants participating in trick-or-treating will display a pumpkin in their window.

The event includes a costume contest from 4-6 p.m. Judging will begin just after 4 p.m. on the fountain stage in the plaza next to ColdStone Creamery. Winners of the best individual costumes and best group costumes will be announced from 6:10-6:30 p.m. Winners must be present to win. Prizes are Kent Station gift cards.

Costumes will be judged by three volunteers. Winning costumes will be judged on originality, details and accessories that coordinate the ensemble and overall appearance.
