Hundreds of people turned out for the 12th Annual Treat Street in Cleveland on Friday, Oct. 29, held this year at the Cleveland Civic Center.
After last year’s event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the crowd of people returned to enjoy this free trick-or-treating event hosted by the City of Cleveland and the Unity Committee of Cleveland.
Booths hosted by dozens of businesses and organizations lined the civic center parking lot as costumed kids and their parents picked up goodies and candies.

The kids got in on the fun by participating in a costume contest and “Thriller Dance-Off.”
In the 0-3-year-old category, the winners were: first place – Addox Elliott as Ace Ventura, second place – Deangelo Gomez-Lopez wearing “Gimme Candy” and third place – Addisyn Alloway as a cute little witch.
In the 4-7-year-old category, the winners were: first place – Jayden Hefner as a zombie, second place – Victoria Fante as a jester and third place – Nicole Sotemayor in her Day of the Dead costume.
