For the first time in two years, the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce is holding a Trick or Treat the Streets Halloween event. The event will take place in downtown Clanton on Oct. 30 from 5-7 p.m.

The Halloween festivities are back after being cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. The trick-or-treating will be followed by a golf cart/ATV parade. This will be the first time that the chamber is holding a golf cart/ATV parade as part of its Halloween festivities.

“I think everybody is excited for it,” Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Rachel Martin said. “We’re excited for it. We want to go above and beyond this year to kind of make up for that (cancelling in 2020), and I think we’ll have an even bigger turnout than we’ve had before.”

Along with the trick-or-treating and the parade, Rhino J Entertainment will be deejaying the event. There will also be a costume contest and inflatables at the event.

Roads will be shut down from First Baptist Church to the end of City Hall as well as from MorLyn’s Fine Jewelery and Gifts to the courthouse.

There are already close to 40 vendors for the event, however, if one wants to be a vendor they can contact the chamber at info@chiltonchamber.org. It costs $10 for members of the chamber and $25 for non-members.
