Halloween Howl
Friday, October 30th 2026
If you think of what Normal Rockwell would have painted for Halloween, Clay Center's Halloween Howl is just that. Lots of little spooks and goblins walk from shop to shop, in the safety of our quaint little town as they trick-or-treat for goodies at local businesses. Even those businesses who aren't downtown still get in on the fun as they allow kiddo's to “trunk-or-treat” from their cars parked along the square.
Come rain or shine, this event is held every year from 3-5 pm on Halloween. {If Halloween falls on a Saturday or Sunday, Halloween Howl is held the Friday afternoon, prior to Halloween}.
