Halloween at Hammond Square
Calling little ghouls, goblins, princesses and superheroes to celebrate Halloween at Hammond Square!
Many children in Hammond, Louisiana, will be getting a head start on Halloween this year. Hammond Square is celebrating its 4th Annual Halloween at the Square event on Saturday, October 21st from 6-8pm for children ages 12 and under. The event is free and open to the public. Costumes are highly encouraged. Kids are invited to trick-or-treat at Hammond Square’s participating stores that will be stocked with candy and prizes throughout the evening. Visitors can start at any trick-or-treat station on Main Street. (Look for the trick-or-treat station sign to identify participating stores.)
Halloween at the Square is Hammond Square’s premier family-friendly event of the year. It offers Hammond area residents a safe, convenient and fun trick-or-treating experience, while providing increased traffic and exposure for the many great retail tenants at the shopping center. Last year’s event hosted more than 400 children and families!
“Hammond Square is a proud supporter of our community and we love inviting our neighbors out for fun, family entertainment. Halloween at the Square offers a safer, brighter and less scary atmosphere for children and their parents,” said Lindsey Palmer, Director of Property Services with Stirling Properties. “And we hope Halloween visitors will remember our stores for the upcoming holiday shopping season.”
According to an annual survey released earlier this month by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics, Americans are expected to splurge on costumes and candy for a record $9.1 billion in Halloween spending this year—an increase of 8.3% from last year’s previous record of $8.4 billion. Additionally, 179 million Americans are expected to partake in Halloween festivities, up from 171 million in 2016, and a record number of adults (48%) plan to dress in costume this year. Those retail numbers are very encouraging for many local shopping centers this year—including Hammond Square.
