Drive Through Trick or Treat

The Willamette Heritage Center (WHC) is pleased to announce the return of Drive-Thru Tick-or-Treat.

Cruise along a mystical route filled with dazzling decorations and friendly faces eager to shower your little ghouls and goblins with goodies.  Local businesses, non-profits, and your awesome neighbors (aka the ‘Candy Crew’) are ready to make this another fantastic Drive-Thru Trick-or-Treat!

This fun event offers an alternative and accessible way to experience trick-or-treating safely within a vehicle – even atop a bicycle. In addition, we will supply our visitors with fun facts and jokes about the harvest season.

Valerie Van Alstyne states, “This free event has become a community favorite. We always enjoy seeing all the costumes and smiles. Almost 1,500 visitors came through our site last year!”

We are thankful for our sponsors who will also participate as a “Candy Crew” member:

The following community partners are joining us as “Candy Crew” members

Grant Neighborhood Association

Our very own WHC Caboose Crew
And more!
