Halloween Spooktacular

Downtown Martinez & Co. invites community businesses to join in creating a SAFE, FUN & FREE Trick or Treat Spooktacular! Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 11:00am to 2:00pm

We will also be including booth opportunities for KIDS CRAFTS and GAMES in addition to the traditional Trunks and in business Trick-or-Treat.

This is a great opportunity for local businesses to provide a safe place for families to enjoy Halloween festivities. Instead of walking house to house, children visit participating downtown businesses, creatively themed and decorated car trunks and booths that will line downtown Martinez. Each trunk or booth is sponsored by a business or Martinez resident.

Downtown businesses can choose to participate in the Store-to-Store Trick-or-Treating to bring the local community into your business!
