INSTRUCTIONS

First time attending our trick-or-treat event? Please read on!

1. Can my child participate in this event?

Absolutely! On Oct. 31, from 6pm-8pm, kids of all ages and nationalities are welcome to trick-or-treat in Ruzafa. We look forward to seeing your children with or without costume.

2. How, and how, much must I donate per child?

Because we don't have any sponsors or backers, please help us buy candy for your child. Due to the large number of stops, please donate 5 EURs per participating child using this link.

In lieu of donating above, you may bring 2 unopened bags of candy per trick-or-treating child to the event. Each bag of candy must contain at least 30 individual pieces of candy, each of which must have its own individual wrapper. If you choose to bring candy to the event, please drop it off at one of the trick-or-treating stops on the map.

If you plan to invite friends or forward the link to our map, you’re responsible for telling your invitees and/or map recipients about this candy-donation requirement, to prevent us from running out of candy. Please direct them to this website for full instructions on how to participate in this event.

100% of the mandatory donations to the Candy Fund will be spent on candy, supplies and event-related materials. Final fund total and purchase receipts will be posted on this website during the week following Halloween.

3. Must I register or RSVP for this event?

There is no registration for this event.

4. Are the businesses on the Halloween map available for trick-or-treating outside the event hours?

The event runs from 6pm – 8pm. Please do not trick-or-treat at our participating businesses outside of those hours. We have an agreement with them that we’re only stopping by within that window of time.

5. What else can I do to help?

Please don’t leave behind litter on the streets of Ruzafa in the form of candy or toy wrappers/waste. Help us be welcomed-guests in Ruzafa.

NOTE:

This is a not-for-profit event. All organizers and volunteers are unpaid. All donations will be exclusively used to buy candy and needed supplies for distribution to participating kids. For more information, please visit this page in mid-November when candy purchase receipts will have been posted.

HALLOWEEN MAP

MAP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. On October 30, a link to this year's Halloween Trick-or-Treat map will be posted here. Please note that the current map at this location is last year's outdated trick-or-treat map (2024) and merely serves as an example for what to expect.

2. This Google map features designated pins that indicate where each trick-or-treat stop is.

3. Pumpkins represent businesses that are participating in our event. For more information, you can click on any pumpkin to read the name of the business. Please enter the business to say "trick or treat," for a piece of candy. They are excitedly looking forward to seeing your kids in costume!

4. Candy corns represent our outdoor volunteers. They will be stationed at the exact spot on your map where the candy corns appear. If you’d like to see the associated address, please click on the candy corn for a pop-up of the address.

5. Start your route anywhere on the map.

6. A full circuit of the map with all stops will take between 1.5-2 hours. Leave yourself enough time to complete all stops.

7. Please don’t visit the same stop more than once. Because we only asked you to donate 2 bags of candy (or 5 EUR) per child, we will only have enough candy for each child to make 1 stop per pin. There will be more than enough treats between all the stops for kids to be fully satisfied.

All of us volunteers are so excited about seeing your costumed kids. See you on Oct. 31 from 6pm-8pm! Happy Halloween!
