Immediately following Trick or Treating in the Plaza, head over to the Great Lawn for Movies in the Plaza, presented by Community First Bank. Halloweentown begins at 7:30 p.m.

“We are excited that the community was so receptive to these events last year and are happy to bring them back again,” said Kayla Arnold, Director of Westfield Welcome. “We hope you’ll join us for one or all of our free events this month!”
