Trick or Treat on 2nd Street

Trick or Treat on 2nd Street is Belmont Shore's popular Halloween afternoon tradition, turning the walkable business district into a safe, festive trick-or-treating route for local families. Costumed kids stroll Second Street visiting participating shops that display jack-o'-lantern signs to hand out candy, with a photo booth and holiday touches adding to the fun. It's free and happens in daylight in the late afternoon, making it an easy, low-key outing for younger children before evening plans. The neighborhood buzzes with costumes, decorations and a cheerful community vibe, and it's a favorite way to kick off Halloween in a friendly, contained setting. Come dressed up, bring a candy bag, and expect crowds of families along the storefronts. Parking fills quickly on Halloween, so walking, biking or rideshare is easiest.
