Get ready for a spooktacular Halloween celebration at Novi’s Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk! On October 20, 2024, this popular outdoor shopping and entertainment complex will transform into a trick-or-treater’s paradise for the annual Trick or Treat at Fountain Walk event.
A Hauntingly Good Time
From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes can roam the walkways of Fountain Walk, collecting treats from participating stores and restaurants. But this isn’t your average neighborhood candy hunt – it’s a full-blown Halloween extravaganza with kids and parents grinning from ear to ear (or fang to fang if you’re dressed as a vampire).
Treats Galore
Bring your biggest candy bag because you’re going to need it! Fountain Walk’s generous merchants will hand out various sweets to satisfy every sugar craving. From chocolate bars to gummy worms and everything in between, there’s enough candy here to keep dentists in business for years. Don’t forget to say “trick or treat” – the magic password unlocks the candy vault!
All Aboard the Spooky Express
Hold onto your witch hats because this year’s event features a special treat – free train rides! That’s right, you can hop aboard the Fountain Walk Express for a spine-tingling journey around the complex. It’s the perfect way to give your tired little monster feet a break while enjoying the Halloween atmosphere.
Costume Contest
What’s Halloween without a chance to show off your creative costumes? Fountain Walk’s got you covered with a costume contest that’ll bring out everyone’s competitive spirit. Categories might include Most Original, Scariest, Cutest, and Best Family Theme.
So whether you’re planning to dress as the latest superhero, a classic monster, or something off-the-wall, make sure your costume is ready to impress!
Location, Location, Location
All the Halloween action is at 44175 W. Twelve Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377. Fountain Walk is easy to spot – look for the crowds of costumed kiddos and the festive decorations. If you get lost, follow the trail of candy wrappers (just kidding – please don’t litter!).
More Than Just Candy
While the treats are undoubtedly the main attraction, Trick or Treat at Fountain Walk offers more than a sugar rush. Many stores will have special Halloween-themed activities and displays. You might find face painting stations, spooky photo ops, or even mini-games with prizes. Exploring Fountain Walk’s shops and restaurants while soaking in the Halloween spirit is a great chance.
Fun for All Ages
Don’t think this event is just for the little ones. Parents, grandparents, and Halloween-loving adults of all ages are encouraged to join in the fun. Throw on a costume, grab a treat bag, and relive your childhood memories of trick-or-treating. Who says kids should have all the fun?
Weather? No Problem!
Michigan weather in October can be unpredictable, but don’t let that scare you away. Fountain Walk’s covered walkways provide shelter from any potential rain or snow, ensuring the Halloween fun goes on rain or shine. Just incorporate an umbrella into your costume if the forecast looks iffy!
Plan Your Visit
To make the most of your Trick or Treat at Fountain Walk experience, here are a few tips:
- Arrive early to snag a good parking spot and beat the crowds.
- Bring a sturdy bag or bucket for all that candy – paper bags might not survive the haul.
- Wear comfortable shoes – you’ll be doing a lot of walking.
- Don’t forget your camera to capture all the spooky memories.
- Check Fountain Walk’s website or social media for any last-minute updates or special announcements.
A Community Tradition
Trick or Treat at Fountain Walk has become a beloved annual tradition in Novi. It’s a chance for families to come together, for businesses to give back to the community, and for everyone to celebrate the fun and whimsy of Halloween. Whether you’re a long-time Novi resident or just visiting for the day, you will feel the warm (despite the chilly October air) community spirit.
With free candy, train rides, and plenty of spooky fun, it’s an event that’ll have you saying “Boo-yeah!” all the way home. Just remember to brush your teeth after all that candy – we don’t want any real-life scary smiles!
