On Halloween, Oct. 31 from 3 to 5:00 p.m., downtown Washington Ave. will be closed to cars and filled instead with tiny zombies, super-heroes and other masked little ones, all ready to fill their trick-or-treat bags in a safe atmosphere with candy provided by local Golden merchants.

Bring your little ones for some sugar-saturated, non-spooky fun!

CANCELED:  Please note, the walking tour has been canceled due to weather.
