Organized by Live It Up Hillsborough, the afternoon features more than fifty candy stations, a dedicated trunk-or-treat area, outdoor games, and craft booths for children. What to Know: The activities stretch along Hillsborough Street between Logan Court and Pogue Street. It is entirely free to attend, and you do not need to register for tickets. Because this area relies on street parking and public pay lots, arriving early is your best bet to secure a spot close to the action. Bring your own trick-or-treat buckets to collect candy, and dress the kids in comfortable shoes for walking the city blocks. This is an easy weekend pick because it takes place during daylight hours on a Sunday afternoon. It offers a safe, walkable environment to get extra use out of those Halloween costumes before the main holiday.
