A Spooktacular Evening
Don your Halloween costume, grab as many candy bags as you can carry, and head to Main Street for Vermillion's annual Downtown Trick-Or-Treat. Walk the circuit from Ratingen Platz to the Trunk-or-Treat at the Vermillion Public Library, collecting candy from local businesses, community organizations, and groups along the way. Enjoy complimentary hot dogs and hamburgers from Hy-Vee, fun music and so much more!
And that’s not all – Vermillion is celebrating Halloween all week with even more spooky events and activities!
