The 2025 Globe, AZ Halloween Block Party/Community-Gift Trick-or-Treat Event is officially cancelled. 😞
Why/Behind the scenes~~
The City Of Globe staff & council made the decision last Tuesday night to pull all of the large event Special Event Permits set to take place in Globe Historic Downtown in October & November 2025 due to safety & the recovery efforts post floods.
This means the cancellation of ALL LG PUBLIC EVENTS. Including:
10/18 Apache Jii Festival
(Brought to you by the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce who emergency relocated their event to Harbison field).
10/25 GHS Homecoming Parade (see GHS page for rearranged details)
10/25 The 27th Annual Ghosts of Globe Tour, which has been postponed by the GDA (Globe Downtown Association) & CCCP until Spring/TBA.
10/31 The 29th Annual Halloween Block Party Globe Downtown Community-Gift Trick-or-Treat Event.
11/7 First Friday’s/City of Globe (Event announced as cancelled).
11/15 The in-the-works Disaster Fundraiser/Car Show & Music Fest/postponed TBA on reschedule.
Note: There might be more but these are the ones we are aware of.
~~We at the Globe Downtown Association are beyond sad. We understand the municipal manpower that these events take, but we also understand the benefit of encouraging people to be downtown and support our local businesses. These decisions have been a battle hard fought, and we do not make any cancellation decisions lightly. Thank you for your multitude of ideas, messages, support and patience during this process.
We are however moving forward with the planning phase of a huge block party to honor our businesses, residents, volunteers, first responders & public works, donors, mud-muckers, community heros, and so many more as soon as the City feels we are safe to continue. This disaster affected so many lives & businesses, and has made us a community much stronger.
Please please please continue to support our Globe Historic Downtown merchants, they need your support more than ever.
In lieu of candy support that we are usually asking for at this time, we would love community members organizations churches and whomever to please consider adopting a regional family or business in need from this flood disaster. Let’s continue the good work and community. We cannot wait to celebrate with you at this recovery block party, and of course at next year’s Hlobe Downtown Halloween festival as well.
One more note, as you make alternate plans for this Halloween season please consider supporting many of our local Halloween events, and still saying in town. Our economy needs you~~~ 🤍🤍🤍
All the best,
~Molly Cornwell-Thompson, GDA Mgr Please join the Globe Downtown Association for its 29th annual community-gift trick-or-treat event night in historic downtown Globe. With usual estimated crowds of WELL OVER 5000 folks all spread out throughout our historic downtown, come ready to meet & greet and trick-or-treat along Broad Street.
The Trick-or-Treat portion of the event runs from 5:30-7pm, or until each station runs out. We encourage guests to simply start ANYWHERE they wish along Broad Street from Yuma Street to Sycamore Street, or Sycamore Street to Yuma Street. Encouraging everyone to enter the line anywhere in the zone will help disperse the highly congested crowd of tiny batmen and princesses that annually pile-up for two blocks at Sycamore.
We are planning for 4 music-related hubs, car show participants, family trunk-or-treat stations & Broad St. sidewalk chalking. In addition there will be storefront/Candy station decor contest, Pumpkin Carving contest & Costume contest ALL by people's-choice voting via event hashtag (#GlobeAZHalloween). Oak Street will also feature a vendor court, and the 1910 territorial jail will be open as a kid-friendly "spooky jail" for round-the-cell block simple tank-walks. Free to the public.
We are also extremely excited to be able to once again bring back the in-person & FAMOUS photo booth on Broad with the talented photographer Yevette Vargas and her team from Ms. Yevette Photography. Every photo taken will be uploaded online for the hashtag-entry community costume contest, free of charge. (Photos will additionally be available for purchase, as per tradition). In addition, will still be hosting the fun hashtag-entry community social media pumpkin carving & costume contest. #GlobeAZHalloween
Special thanks in advance to the amazing army of volunteers at the Globe Downtown Association (aka Historic Globe Main Street), the Globe Public Works team, Globe Police, Globe Fire, and Globe events committee, for without you, this event could never happen. Additional thanks go out to the countless businesses, community groups, churches, organizations, clubs, families who annually participate in this event with us. We KNOW how much candy and toys you purchase to donate and are so thankful to the moon for you! Additional thanks & gratitude go out to the countless pounds of candy that is donated by YOU, our community. With the help of our ATV runner angels, we get to joyfully redistribute the donations throughout the event. Thank-you all! See you on Halloween night, or feel free to pop by the 1910 Jail (Th-Sat 11-2), the CVCA, the City of Globe, or your favorite merchant before the event to donate wrapped & sealed bags of candy. We are a community most blessed. ~Molly
