The Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce's 7th annual Hilloween event is a one-day community celebration on Broadway, Pike and Pine that welcomes thousands of attendees.  This community party is free and open to everyone - designed with kids in mind - but just as fun for adults too. 

The indoor kid's carnival returns this year to the Seattle Central College Mitchell Activity Center, which will be transformed into a straw-bale maze featuring fun age-appropriate activities, Halloween-themed games, live performances, and fabulous tricks and treats!
 
The carnival concludes with our signature costume parade led by the Chaotic Noise Marching Band and trick-or-treating with participating merchants along Broadway, Pike and Pine - don't forget to stop by the Haunted Laboratory at 1st Security Bank!

Visit the Hilloween website for a more complete list of activities and performances, or RSVP to   our Facebook event page.
Special thanks to our top sponsors

Sponsors of the Center Stage - Hunters Capital, Capitol Hill Housing Foundation, & Gaspar's Construction.
Sponsors of the Maze - Capitol Hill Seattle Blog, Ragen & Associates, & Gerding Edlen.

Participate in the Trick or Treat On Broadway, Pike and Pine October 29th!

Merchants along Broadway, Pike, and Pine are encouraged to participate in this year's Hilloween Trick-or-Treat from 3-6PM on October 29th.  We'll provide the "Candy Poster" and direct kids your way with a Trick or Treat map.  We ask that merchants participate by:
  • Hanging a "Candy Poster" in your window to advertise the event and let kids know the day of that you have candy for them
  • Buy plenty of candy to hand out from 3-6PM 
  • Have your employees dress in  costume
  • If you are off the beaten path of Broadway, we suggest you make signs to show kids the way to your door or have an employee in costume on the sidewalk
