When you have wrapped this much effort into your costume, you’ll want to show it off for more than one night. Ghosts and goblins got their usual early start to Hilloween over the Hilloweekend with costumed fun lovers filling up the neighborhood on their way to favorite bars, neighborhood hangouts, and parties with friends. CHS enjoyed the scene from Cal Anderson, Pike/Pine, and up and down Broadway and have a few dozen photos from the night to share.

The serious sharing continues Tuesday night. Venture into the Capitol Hill Trick or Treat Hot Zone on the blocks surrounding 16th Ave E and E Aloha near Volunteer Park for bowls and bowls of candy and some great haunted houses. The area gets crowded but many of the streets are closed to cars and locals prepare for lots of trick or treaters so spirits large and small should do well. Remember your pleases and thank yous. Don’t try to drive and definitely don’t park in the area. It’s best to either jump on a nearby Metro bus line or arrange to be dropped off on the edges of the zone.

Happy Hilloween.
