Local businesses are invited to participate in the 15th annual Trick or Treat in the Park event! The purpose of this event is to provide a safe, family friendly environment for children to Trick or Treat and to raise awareness and publicity for local businesses. Businesses must set up a booth or tent and hand out candy for the duration of the event. We encourage each business to also give out information, advertising materials, etc… with each piece of candy. Providing a simple game is also encouraged to improve the overall experience of the children Trick or Treating.
Please note: All food vendor spaces are full at this time. Any type of food/drink vendor that submits an application will be automatically waitlisted.
Harrisburg Parks and Recreation will have additional games for the children to play, candy prizes, inflatables, a costume contest, plus more!
If you are interested in participating, the registration fee is $10. The deadline to apply is Sunday, October 18, 2026.
Each participating business must provide at least 5,000 pieces of candy. Please note: This event has an average of 8,000 people in attendance. Please bring extra candy if you are able. Harrisburg Parks and Recreation will have additional candy on hand to supplement if you run out. Set up time is from 1:30pm-3:00pm on Friday, October 30, 2026 in Harrisburg Town Center.
We also strongly encourage each business to decorate their booth. We welcome you to wear your favorite Halloween costume. Please provide your own tent, tables, chairs, etc. Booth spaces are 10x10 feet. Power will not be provided for vendors. This application is for non-food vendors only. All decorated booths will be judged and the best decorated Halloween themed booth will receive a prize!
