Davis Downtown's annual Treat Trail is right around the corner. Get the family ready to head to downtown Davis on October 31, 2026, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., for spooky tricks, delicious treats, and plenty of Halloween fun!

Last year, over 50 downtown business provided mouth-watering treats to the little ghouls and goblins who are enjoyed downtown festivities.

This year, expect that again over 50+ businesses will be participating. It will be GREAT!

This long-running tradition is a favorite of parents and children alike. People from far and wide head to downtown Davis to join in the fun. Woodland, Dixon, and Sacramento fans all participate in this uniquely Davis event.

Want to see for yourself? Here is a Treat Trail video that highlights what happens in the downtown on Halloween.

The Davis Downtown Treat Trail is perfect for the little ones. No need to canvas the neighborhood late at night in search of tricks and treats.

The Treat Trail takes place in the afternoon so you can have some fun, grab dinner at a downtown restaurant, and then head home to get the small children to bed.

Plus, you get to stay home and hand out candy.

What could be more fun? Perhaps a Zombie Bike Ride earlier in the day.

During the Treat Trail, downtown businesses open their doors and welcome their spooky guest. Not only will you find some treats, businesses will sometimes provide special giveaways, coupons, or other goodies. It is a great reason to come out, shop downtown, and support your local businesses.

It is still early to know exactly which downtown Davis businesses will be participating in the 2026 Davis Downtown Treat Trail.

In 2025, over 50 businesses opened their doors to costumed children and adults and celebrated Halloween in style. There was definitely plenty of trick-or-treating going on.

Enjoy the Show

The best thing about Davis Downtown’s Treat Trail are the costumes. Every year, families pull out all the stops and create elaborate Halloween costumes and showcase them at the Davis Downtown Treat Trail.

You want a Halloween show? Grab a chair and hang out at E Street Plaza. You will be treated (literally) to some amazing Halloween costumes. So many creative people!

One of the big treats at past Treat Trails is the appearance of the Ghostbusters and the Ectomobile. These guys are awesome. Elaborate costumes. Amazing props. Plus, the ECTOMOBILE! Wow!

Unfortunately, I have it on good authority that the Ghostbusters have retired. But with nobody protecting downtown Davis there will be plenty of ghost, ghouls, goblins, and more on the streets. Plenty to see and do.

People are so creative.

This event happens RAIN OR SHINE. Be sure to keep an eye on weather reports and pack an umbrella.

Is there more? Absolutely.

E Street Plaza

Goblins and ghouls abound on the sidewalks of downtown Davis. It will be spooky and fun.

Be sure to stop by E Street Plaza. The Davis Downtown Business Association is brining you even more to make Halloween a special downtown event.

We will see what the DDBA has in store for 2026.
