2026 Downtown North Wilkesboro Spooktacular

Spooktacular is our annual downtown Halloween Festival—a fun-filled community celebration for all ages hosted by the North Wilkesboro Downtown Merchants Association . It is a vibrant atmosphere packed with local vendors, trick-or-treat stations, candy galore, games, and delicious food. Kids can dress up and collect treats in a safe and festive environment; while families, who are also encouraged to dress up, can explore everything downtown North Wilkesboro has to offer. To help make this event possible, the Merchants Association welcomes donations of candy or funds. Every contribution helps us to ensure that families can enjoy a fun and safe Halloween experience and that all candy is free. If you would like to show your support for Spooktacular while also connecting your business or organization to the community, please consider sponsoring a candy station. Sponsors who choose this option will have a candy distribution station with their name displayed. Your donation to Spooktacular helps bring joy and fun to thousands of children and families, support local small businesses by increasing foot traffic and exposure, and promotes community pride and growth in Downtown North Wilkesboro. Thank you for helping to make Spooktacular an unforgettable experience for everyone! All donations for Spooktacular can be dropped off at - Cook's Sports 1402 Willow Lane N. Wilkesboro, NC.
