Dressed as B.C. Lions legend Lui Passaglia, Sidney resident Bryce McFadden couldn't hide his excitement about being at Treat Street on Hallow's Eve, Thursday.
He’s been to every spooktacular block party since it started in 2014.
“I always love coming out here to enjoy the festive evening. It’s great to see the children, grandparents, neighbors and community members supporting the event.”
Like McFadden, Jessica Heke and her family have been regular Treat Streeters for the last 10 years, rain, shine, or COVID.
“They had movies during the pandemic, so we brought the kids to watch.”
Morgan Shaw, executive director of Sidney Business Improvement Area Society (BIA), says this year's event saw the biggest participation, with 58 businesses and community groups opening their doors and handing out candies.
BIA estimated at least 10,000 people attended Treat Street, with kids snatching up all 20,000 candies.
Sidney Mayor Cliff McNeil-Smith, who came dressed as Harry Potter is grateful to the community for supporting the Halloween event on Beacon Avenue, year after year.
"It's really nice here and Treat Street just brings all families together," said eighth-grader Lars Hogan.
Explore Sidney (Sidney BIA) and Peninsula Celebrations Society hosted this year’s Treat Street, as they have for the past 10 years.
