Halloween in the Hills will be held next Monday, Oct. 31, with everyone in the community invited to come out and spend time with their neighbors, have fun, grab some candy while trick-or-treating, show off costumes and more. The event will run from 4 to 8 p.m.

Local businesses and organizations will set up booths along Avenue of the Fountains in downtown Fountain Hills for this annual event, with games and plenty of goodies on offer for the kids.

Food vendors will also be on hand, along with music, games, festive activities and more.

There will also be a pair of costume contests at this year’s event. The best human(s) and pet contest will begin at 5:45 p.m. and the best kid costume contest will be held at 6:30 p.m. Participants can simply show up early in order to compete. These contests are free to enter and winners will receive prize packages from event sponsors.
