Hundreds, if not thousands of Halloween trick-or-treaters turned Sidney’s Beacon Avenue into a walking gallery of costumes as Treat Street returned to the Saanich Peninsula.
The event, organized by the Peninsula Celebrations Society in cooperation with the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society, last took place on Halloween 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the event in 2020 and 2021. It returned in full force on Monday.
The event sees merchants open their stores for local trick-or-treaters, as well as their parents, many of whom also dress up. Mindful of regular shoppers, other businesses were handing out candy from temporary roadside stands.
