The boys and ghouls of Pike/Pine already got Hilloween started over the weekend. Below, you’ll find some more scenes from the Hilloweekend.

Even with a midweek instance of the holiday — and a drizzly forecast — you can still expect crowds around Capitol Hill for the real thing Thursday night.

This year, the Hilloween fun includes a new event running from 4 PM to 8 PM Thursday. The REVIVAL Halloween Pop-up Market above Capitol Hill Station will include games and an appearance by the Double Dutch Divas, a magician, kids activities, and spooky sounds from DJ Bri.

Sorry, kids. Broadway’s annual kids Hilloween carnival and trick or treat march isn’t happening this year. The Broadway Business Improvement Area told CHS the time and effort required to raise funding and sponsorship for the annual October family-friendly event were too much for the organization to take on this year.

For those of you with Thursday night plans to enter 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 lots of haunted houses, here’s a map. 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.
