Uptown Martinsville Trick-or-Treat
Bring your family out to the Uptown Martinsville Trick-or-Treating. The event is hosted by numerous Uptown Martinsville merchants, so it’s a guaranteed safe destination to trick-or-treat with your children 12 and under. The streets of Uptown Martinsville will be closed so that your family can walk to every location. Make sure to come out Halloween night from 4-6 to truly enjoy this traditional trick-or-treating experience.
The hayride will take everyone around Jack Dalton Park and thanks to the Martinsville/Henry County 4-H office, the hayride will
get spookier and spookier as the evening goes on. Trunk or treating will be offered in the parking lot of Jack Dalton Park. Goodies, Halloween bags and games will also be available.
