Trick-or-treating in Dahlonega


Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well and are looking forward to Thanksgiving. I know I am a couple of weeks late, but I thought I would do a little review on my family's trick-or-treating experience on the Dahlonega square. Trick-or-treating on the square was from 4:30-6:00 pm. To make things safe for everyone the city of Dahlonega blocked off the square. Families gathered in lines all over the square to get candy from the stores that were handing them out. Clearly, the two most popular stores for candy lovers were Paul Thomas Chocolates and the Fudge Factory. I unfortunately did not get to try their candy partly due to the crowds and the fact that my little munchkin was only 9 months old. Thirty minutes before the end of trick-or-treating there was a costume contest. Scarecrows, superheros, princesses, fairies and ghosts made their way to the gold museum so that their costume could be judged.  We were able to make the tale end of the event and saw that a butterfly princess won first prize. Congratulations to her.

Trick-or-treating in Dahlonega was a fun and crowded experience. Although the lines were long to get candy everyone was in a good and patient mood. The adults handing out candy were all dressed up and probably having more fun than the kids. Unless you just can not handle crowds, I recommend trying it one Halloween if you live close by. Please check out the pictures below.
