A trail of pumpkins in downtown Te Puke will lead local children to street theatre, games and treats this Halloween.

Jellicoe Street retailers are throwing open their doors on October 31 to help the town's young trick or treaters enjoy the Halloween festivities.

Children are encouraged to dress in their favourite costume and join in with street theatre from the Te Puke Repertory Society and games by Middle Eire. There will also be street food for sale and plenty of opportunities to fill your treat bags.

Trail maps for the Te Puke Treat Trail are available from Te Puke Library at 130 Jellicoe Street, with festivities getting underway on Tuesday, October 31, from 4-5.30pm.
