Trick or Treating at Melrose Businesses

A Melrose Halloween tradition continues when Melrose businesses open their doors to young trick or treaters on Friday, Oct. 28, from 3:30-5 p.m.

From Main Street to Franklin Square to Franklin Street to West Wyoming and all over Melrose, participating businesses will hang balloons, welcoming children in third grade and younger.

Once again, the chamber asks that our trick or treaters bring not only a scary costume, but something to donate to one of our local food pantries. A Servant’s Heart and A Pantry of Hope are bracing themselves for a busy winter, knowing that new families will be coming to them looking for help.
