Costume & Candy Drive

It’s time for our annual Costume & Candy Drive! We are collecting gently-used costumes of all sizes and unopened bags of candy to distribute for free to the community. Guests are welcomed back to sport their new-to-them costumes at our annual Trick or Treat event on Halloween.

Last year, we were able to hand out 1,600 costumes and 12,000 pieces of candy to kids in our community. Will you help us beat last year’s goal?

Here’s how you can support the drive:

  • Drop off donations at the Market Center

  • Contribute an item from our Amazon Wishlist

  • Reach out to events@findlaymarket.org to coordinate a donation pickup.

Don’t have any costumes to donate? Consider making a monetary donation instead.

Costume Pick Up Event

Saturday, October 24 • 3 PM • 132 W. Elder Street

All are welcome to attend our annual Costume Pickup Event on Sunday, October 24 at 3 PM! In order to ensure that as many people as possible are able to attend and get the costumes they need, costumes are limited to 1 per child if children are present, or 2 costumes per adult if children are not present. This event is completely free, and costumes will be available while supplies last. We will have costumes and accessories available for all age groups, from infants to adults. 

 

Trick or Treat

Saturday, October 31 • 4 - 6 PM

Our Merchants dress up and pass out candy to any kiddo in costume. Findlay Market invites you to the best Trick or Treating in town. All families, school groups, and neighbors are welcome to join us from 4 - 6 PM on Halloween to trick or treat from our Market Merchants and partners. Kids will have the chance to get candy inside of the Market House and at our surrounding storefronts. All businesses passing out candy will be clearly marked so you know where to stop!
