EXPERIENCE where magic intertwines with community spirit, a tradition that has thrived since 2011! This annual spooktacular celebration is dedicated to forging delightful connections between local businesses and the community.

Our fabulous trail transforms Halloween into a safe, fun-filled extravaganza, strengthening ties along the bustling Queen Street. It’s a golden opportunity for businesses to charm potential customers while sprinkling joy like confetti across the community.

Here’s how this thrilling escapade unfolds: Parents register their little monsters and pick up a clue sheet from SMTC. Armed with their own bags or buckets, they head to Queen Street where the ghostly games kick off! Shops adorn their storefronts in festive Halloween decor to welcome the pint-sized ghouls. At the stroke of 10 a.m., kids in astonishing costumes flood the town, checking off clues, collecting stamps, and scoring tricks or treats at each stop. The grand finale? A whirlwind of entertainment awaits at Coachmans Park!

We are committed to preserving this cherished tradition, bringing together the community and local businesses in a joyous celebration! Join us for a fang-tastic FREE community day on Saturday, October 25th, at Coachmans Park from 10AM to 2PM. Don’t let the excitement scare you away!
