This Halloween, Ballymena’s Trick or Treat Trail brought thousands to our town centre for a day filled with thrills, fun, and community spirit. With an amazing turnout and incredible costumes, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric!
From the start at Fairhill Shopping Centre, where we hosted free face painting and our Best Dressed competition, to the lively finale at Tower Centre, the event was packed with festive activities. We’re grateful to both Fairhill and Tower Centre for welcoming us to transform their spaces, giving participants a fun and convenient hub for our Halloween festivities.
A huge thank you goes out to the local businesses that joined in on the Halloween fun, not only welcoming our trick-or-treaters with treats but also adding an extra layer of excitement by hosting spooky clues in their windows. This scavenger-hunt style activity was a hit, turning our town centre into a Halloween wonderland filled with surprises.
In the spirit of celebrating the community’s creativity, our Best Dressed competition awarded Ballymena Gift Cards to the Best Dressed Family, Boy, and Girl, giving them a chance to enjoy all that our town centre has to offer. We were blown away by the effort everyone put into their costumes—from spooky and silly to downright spectacular! The winners will no doubt have a great time exploring and spending their prizes in Ballymena’s fantastic range of shops, restaurants, and cafes.
We are beyond grateful for the positive energy everyone brought to the event. The Trick or Treat Trail is truly a celebration of community spirit, and seeing thousands come together made it all the more special. Thank you to everyone who participated, from attendees in their brilliant costumes to our fantastic business community.
We’re already excited to start planning next year’s event—stay tuned for even more thrills (and even more sweets)! Until then, we hope you all had a Halloween to remember. Here’s to many more festive celebrations in Ballymena!
