Downtown Fairfield will come alive with Halloween excitement as the annual Main Street Trunk or Treat event returns Friday.
Preparations will begin at 3:00 PM, when Main Street will be closed to traffic as the 3 blocks of downtown Fairfield will be closed from 3-10 PM. The traffic pattern will follow the same route that is closed during the Fall Fun Fest. The main trunk or treat activities kick off at 5:00 PM, inviting children and adults to collect candy and showcase their most creative costumes.
A highlight of the night will be the costume contest, set to begin at 6:00 PM on NE 3rd Street. Judging will take place on stage in front of the Courthouse, giving participants a chance to show off their Halloween best. In addition, free food will be available from 5:00 to 7:00 PM for everyone attending while supplies last.
The event is open to local businesses and the public, and anyone interested in setting up a trunk is encouraged to call 618-842-6116 for more information.
The Main Street Trunk or Treat is made possible through the efforts of the City of Fairfield Recreation Committee, the Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department, and the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce.
