Monday, October 27, 2025 will be our 8th Annual Downtown Howe-lloween Festival. This event is a chance for kids to Trick-R-Treat from vendors in Downtown Howe and a chance for vendors to promote their business.
(Map as of 10/27/2025)
VENDOR SPACES WILL BE NUMBERED WITH CHALK (EXCEPT FOR GRASS and FOOD VENDOR AREAS). VENDOR MAPS WILL BE ON THE WINDOWS ALL THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN.
WHERE DO WE CHECK IN?
The chamber will have a booth in the middle of the street by the alley. We will have some folks there to help you find your location. But if you find your location, please go ahead and begin setting up if you know your location.
WHEN DO WE SET UP?
We will shut down Haning Street around 3:30 pm Monday for vendors to set up. It will be extremely hectic so please be considerate. There again will be vendors setting up in the middle of the street, therefore, driving your vehicle on Haning Street and unloading is not allowed. Unfortunately, there will be some carrying involved.
WHERE DO WE PARK?
The good news is that you get to park close because you are early. I would suggest parking at SouthState Bank or at the Post Office across the street. There is also some parking behind Abby’s and Gabriela’s Restaurants and on O’Connell Street. DO NOT PARK IN THE ALLEY ACROSS FROM DON’S SMOKEHOUSE as that is the overflow vendor area.
SHOULD I BRING A CANOPY?
Your call. It’s not required obviously. If you bring a canopy, please bring something to stake it down.
ELECTRICITY/WIFI?
All we are providing is the space, hence the very small vendor fee.
DO WE HAVE TO STAY UNTIL 8:30?
You do not have to stay until 8:30 pm. But remember, that when one starts to tear down, it causes a domino effect. Please be considerate to other vendors who will want to stay. We have shortened the time for maximum foot traffic.
Don’t forget, we’d love to have you as Howe Area Chamber of Commerce members if you’re not already! You can join now at http://howechamber.com/ and click Join
See you soon!
