For Halloween itself, downtown Dallas will transform into a family-friendly trick-or-treat haven on Friday, October 31, with more than 25 local businesses offering candy, crafts, photo ops, live entertainment, and costumes encouraged for all ages, according to Mommy Poppins. Over in Grand Prairie, the Street 'N Treat festival at City Hall adds free games, a petting zoo, face painting, inflatables, and crafts, plus a lively costume contest and tasty food trucks to keep the party going.
For those craving a festive twist, Mockingbird Station is bringing back their Spooktacular Trunk or Treat Celebration on Friday, featuring a live DJ, bouncy slides, balloon artists, photo booths, character meet-and-greets, and even a palm reader for those seeking a little Halloween fortune.
