Halloween Haunts in Downtown Bellevue

All Hallows’ Eve approaches, and there are several events and activities available for all ages when Halloween comes on Sunday the 31st.

Trick-or-Treating in Old Bellevue
Family-friendly activities include Trick-or-Treating in Old Bellevue, where over a dozen shops and restaurants along the corridor, on 103rd Ave and Main Street, will be handing out sweet treats. It’s an opportunity for families to walk their children through the original streets of Downtown Bellevue and meet the local merchants in the neighborhood.

Another family-friendly Halloween even is the annual Halloween Family Funfest at Bellevue Square, also on Sunday the 31st, going from 4pm – 7pm. Participating stores within the mall will be handing out candy; there will be balloon-tying clowns, face painting and hair decoration in the Bellevue Square Center Court, a “Mad Scientist” booth with kid-friendly experiments, and opportunities for Halloween-themed photos. There will also be live performances by Brian Vogan and his Good Buddies in the Center Court at 4pm and 5:30pm.
