The 39th Annual Monument Square Halloween Trick or Treat
We are preparing our 39th Annual Monument Square Halloween Trick or Treat for Thursday, October 31st, 2024 at 5:00 at the Bunker Hill Monument Steps at the Top of Monument Avenue.
This years’ theme is “Harry Potter” however the Monument Square area streets will be filled with ghosts, princesses, pirates and many other characters. Be creative, and remember this event is focused on the children. Trick or Treaters of all ages are welcome.
Our policy is to not promote outside of Charlestown since we all strive for a neighbor-to-neighbor event, which builds our community fabric. Please enjoy yourself, and remember your neighbors make this event possible, through their kindness and generosity. We encourage other neighborhoods to use our model to create their own safe, fun and memorable holiday for all ages. Every child deserves to have a safe neighborhood and a Happy Halloween.
Please decorate your home if you are in the Monument Square/ Training Field/ Monument Avenue area. Please bring candy to neighbors in these areas because they run out. Throughout Charlestown, Halloween is a time to make our community festive.
Please bring a donation, canned goods, cereal and other food items for Harvest on Vine, Charlestown’s Food Pantry, at the Monument. The need to address food insecurity in Charlestown is real. Your donations will make a difference.
We are grateful for our partnerships with Superintendent Michael Creasey and the National Park Service, Mayor Wu and the City of Boston, the Charlestown Mothers Association, The Bunker Hill Mall, The Cambridge Savings Bank, Massport, Diversified Auto, Dovetail and Brewers Fork, DUNKIN’, Whole Foods, Frank Celeste. First Church, Michael and Kathy Litel, DC Beane, Charlestown Marina, “E” Inc, Logan House, Bunker Hill Associates, Our Beloved Wizard Jim Duane, Paul Revere/ Michale Le Page, Lydia Jane Anderson, Jay Farraher, and many more supporters.
We are blessed by all the generous neighbors in Charlestown who open their doors to our trick-or-treaters and the remarkable volunteers who make this event possible by committing their energy and their time.
Come in costume, come for the fun, and arrive at 5:00 PM at the Monument Steps at the top of Monument Avenue for a Happy Halloween!
