Friday, October 31, starting at 4 pm, the annual Halloween Trick or Treat celebration takes off in the business district. Local Shops will provide candy and delight to all the costumed trick o’ treaters. Added this year are a Costumed Pup Parade (meet by the tennis courts at 4), the Madison Park Preschool Co-op Photo Booth (at Triangle Park), a DeeJay and more….

FOMP will close the final block of Madison St E as well as two residential blocks on 41st E.

• This is done to ensure the safety of the small children who swarm the streets trick or treating and allow for a small family-oriented block party and community event.

• These two areas will be closed to through traffic from 3:30PM to 6:30 PM. We will have volunteers helping to direct traffic and allowing currently parked cars to exit as needed. 

• The road closures will not impede the bus route or emergency services. 

• Map of the closed blocks is HERE.
