Your Family Guide to Halloween Towne (Roseville): What to Do From 3–8 p.m.

Looking for a Halloween outing that’s festive, affordable, and kid-approved? Halloween Towne Night Market, hosted by NorCal Makers, lands at Vernon Street Town Square on Saturday, October 18, 2025, 3–8 p.m.—and it’s tailor-made for families who like their spooky with a smile.

Here’s a simple plan to make the most of it:
3:00–4:00 p.m. — Early Birds Score
Roll in right at open to beat the crowd and scout the local artisan booths. Let kids pick a small “treat” (sticker pack, charm, or craft) so they feel invested in the stroll. Grab a light bite to keep energy up.
4:00–5:30 p.m. — Craft & Snack Hour
This is prime time to browse handmade décor and giftables. Talk to makers—kids love hearing how things are made. Rotate food and drinks: split a savory, then a sweet. Hydrate between stops and stash napkins in your pocket (trust us).
5:30–6:30 p.m. — Contest O’Clock
Costumes? Yes, please. Many Halloween markets feature contests or themed mini-activities—perfect for photos and memory-making. Pick a meeting spot in case little goblins zig while you zag.

6:30–8:00 p.m. — Golden Hour to Glow
As the light fades, the Square turns photogenic—catch those “just before sunset” family shots, then do one last pass for any can’t-stop-thinking-about-it items. End with a warm drink and a group selfie.

Packing List • Light layers (October evenings can be brisk)
• Comfortable shoes for lots of steps
• A small tote for market finds
• Phone/portable charger (photo ops are everywhere)
• Card + a little cash for flexible shopping


Why it works: family-friendly fun is built into the format—open space to roam, plenty of visual interest, and treats for all ages. You get community connection plus Halloween sparkle, minus the over-stimmy chaos.
