Kids who pre-gamed before Halloween at the Linden Square Courtyard event in Wellesley, and the West Suburban YMCA (WSYMCA) Fall Festival in Newton, knew every trick in the book to collect treats, craft to their heart’s content, and get the most possible wearings out of their very cool costumes.

The Cottage, Oath Pizza, and Playa Bowls in Linden Square joined in on the fun and gave out free samples, and everyone at the West Suburban YMCA enjoyed free snacks, including candy apples and popcorn. Nice treats!

Both events drew impressive crowds, showcasing a vibrant spirit of community engagement in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
