Pumpkin Palooza turns Main Street in downtown Watertown into a daytime trick-or-treat destination on October 31, 2026. Dozens of participating merchants are planned, with games and other activities beginning before the noon trick-or-treat window.
Making the rounds downtown
The Main Street stops are the center of the afternoon, but the earlier activities are worth considering when choosing an arrival time. The games and Library Talk, Read, Play Center activity finish at 12:30 p.m., leaving a half-hour overlap with trick-or-treating. Their exact location is not specified.
Horse-drawn wagon rides are listed at Latte Donatte until 2 p.m.; the library bake sale continues until 3 p.m. The event also mentions store specials and other activities, without naming the participating merchants or detailing the offers.

Two other Halloween choices
Boo Bash is a separate event at Bentzin Family Town Square, scheduled during the same noon-to-3 p.m. window as Main Street trick-or-treating. Its plans include vendor-booth trick-or-treating, face painting and cookie decorating.
Later, Watertown Citywide Trick or Treat runs from 4 to 7 p.m. at participating residences. It is distinct from Pumpkin Palooza’s downtown merchant stops.
