Families are invited to enjoy a fun-filled day in Rittenhouse at the annual Trick or Treat Trail! Children of all ages can visit over 100 participating Rittenhouse Row stores and restaurants for free, public trick-or-treating.
To join the trail, download the official event map from the Rittenhouse Row website or pick up a map and Trick or Treat bag at either Walnut Garden or First Trust Bank (located at 19th & Walnut). You can also simply look for the “Trick-or-Treat Here” posters in the windows of participating businesses throughout the neighborhood.
Costumes are encouraged.
