This event is highly recommended for children ages 12 and younger.
Participating businesses (Treat Stops) along Pearl Street from 8th to 20th streets (as well as some adjacent streets) generously provide their own goodies to make Munchkin Masquerade one of the best, FREE events in the state on the spookiest day of the year.
