Kids wearing black with odd makeup asking for handouts. Looks like the Capitol Hill Community Council has started a new tradition with its Capitol Hill Halloween Walk. Between 6 and 8 PM on All Hallow’s Eve, Broadway businesses will be handing out candy — you can be part of the fun by joining the group gathering at Seattle Central or make your own mini-parade. Just look for these signs to find participating businesses.
Here’s more from the Council:
We plan to gather in front of the Broadway Performance Hall (Seattle Central Community College). The walk will start at 6pm at the college and will proceed down the west side of Broadway to E. Roy Street then back up the east side and end at Cal Anderson Park by 8pm. Community children and their parents will lead the walk. Also joining us will be representatives from the East Precinct of the Seattle Police Department & the Sisters of the Mother House of Washington.
We encourage businesses on Broadway to decorate and participate in the Walk by handing out packaged candy between the hours of 6 and 8pm on Saturday, October 31st (Halloween).
Capitol Hill puts on a wild show for Halloween. With the holiday falling on a Saturday night this year, it should be quite a ride. Cool to see an event for the young and young at heart catching on in the heart of the Hill. After 8p, the grown-ups can have it all to themselves while the kiddies invade the prime CHS Trick-or-Treat Zone.
