The event, which took place from 5pm to 8pm, brought a lot of creative costumes to the streets, creating an event that would be fun for all ages.
Employees outside various stores, including boutique Cloud9Clothing (pictured above), dressed up to greet the children who trick-or-treated up and down the street.

There were so many creative costumes at the festival.The Hampden HalloweenFest Facebook page even pictured a smiling child dressed as Ariel, proudly displaying her trophy for winning the childrens costume contest.
Kids were not the only ones dressed up for Halloween. Some people even decided to bring their dogs in full costume, attracting trick-or-treaters by the dozen.
After browsing social media, local Facebook users were discussing the festival and posting numerous pictures and comments. Featured above is one of the top posts.
