Downtown Spooktacular this Friday; road closures begin at 3:30pm

The City of Grain Valley will be hosting its third annual Downtown Spooktacular, a free community event from 6:30pm to 8:30pm on Friday, October 25th.
 
In 2023, Downtown Spooktacular brought in over 2,000 residents and visitors to the downtown district. Businesses were able to register in contests and as a treat station – handing out goodies and hosting quick games at their assigned space. Trick-or-treaters were able to walk the downtown district and collect candy/goodies from local businesses, participate in the City’s haunted walk-through, and enjoy a stage show put on by volunteers and City staff.
 
Downtown Spooktacular will commence with a Witches and Wizards Walk, beginning in Armstrong Park and ending at the Halloween stage in Downtown Grain Valley. Following the walk, festivities will be ready and waiting for residents in the downtown district. After an evening of your traditional trick-or-treating, Downtown Spooktacular will end with a Halloween fireworks show (weather permitting).
 
For the safety of trick-or-treaters and staff, the City will close Main Street from Yennie to Front Street between 5:00pm - 9:00pm. Motorists are asked to seek alternative routes during event hours.
 
Other closures are as follows:

• East Walnut Street will be closed at Main Street (3:30pm - 9:00pm)
• West Walnut Street from Gregg Street to Main Street (3:30pm - 9:00pm)
• West Front Street at Capelle Street to Main Street (3:30pm - 9:00pm)
• Main Street from Yennie to Front Street (5:00pm - 9:00pm)
