Families around Tampa Bay have two large trick-or-treat events to choose from this weekend, with an afternoon gathering on the Tampa Riverwalk Saturday and a car-free festival in St. Petersburg on Sunday.
Tampa’s event is scheduled for Saturday at the southern end of the Tampa Riverwalk. Trick-or-treating begins at 4 p.m., followed by a movie in the park at 7:15 p.m. at Cotanchobee Park, 601 Water St.
The Riverwalk event coincides with the Tampa Bay History Museum’s 15th annual A Night at the Museum, taking place inside the museum.
On Sunday, St. Petersburg’s Edge and Grand Central districts will hold their annual trick-or-treat event and festival across 22 blocks. The event is planned as a car-free gathering in the two neighboring districts.
Both events offer a family-focused lead-in to Halloween, which falls the following Saturday.
