The Goblin Walk San Carlos Trick or Treat is back at Laurel Street this 2025!

“It’s the spookiest time of the year, when the tiniest ghouls and ghosts haunt Downtown San Carlos in search of CANDY!

“Children 7 years and under, accompanied by an adult, are invited to Trick-or-Treat down Laurel Street from San Carlos Avenue to Arroyo Avenue in their costume and visit the businesses displaying a Goblin Walk sign.
