Sweet or scary, witch or fairy—strut your style and don your costume at Downtown Placerville’s annual Spooktacular celebration on October 31, where the Placerville Downtown Association, City of Placerville, Placerville Active 20/30 Club, and Placerville Lions Club come together to create a safe, family-friendly night of fun and whimsy.  

Start the celebration on Main Street, where stores stay open late for trick-or-treating from 4-6 p.m. and a DJ broadcasts live from the Bell Tower. Families with kiddos ages 10 and under are invited to the children’s carnival at Town Hall from 4-6 p.m. for free games, prizes and treats provided by the Placerville Lions Club.   

At 5:30 p.m., gather around the Bell Tower for an all-ages costume contest hosted by the Placerville Active 20/30 Club; prizes are awarded by age group—6 and under, 7-11, 12-17, adults and groups—and creativity counts.  

Treat your family to a howling good time at this un-boo-lievable event!
