Truck or Treat returns Saturday, Oct. 26—Here’s what you need to know

Hayward Public Library's Trunk or Treat festival returns to Heritage Plaza, across from the Downtown Library, on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and this year will be bigger than ever. Dress in costume, or come as you are, but fun is guaranteed for all.

There will be free face painting, bubbles, crafts and activities for kids, free food, a rock-climbing wall, a chalk walk, a car show and, of course, Halloween treats. All can enjoy performances by local school bands, folklorico dancers, the Kung Fu Infinite Martial Arts School and more.

The City of Hayward and AC Transit will be closing Watkins Street and part of C Street to make space for the festivities. Bus lines departing from the Hayward BART station will be rerouted down Atherton Street from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day.

Trunk or Treat is presented in conjunction with Hayward Promise Neighborhood's Promise Fest. Hayward Promise Neighborhood is a collaborative partnership led by California State University, East Bay, focused on educational success from cradle-to-career in Hayward. The Promise Fest celebrates the partnership's decade of service to the community and the expansion of services to the Downtown area.
