Trick-or-treating in Marshfield
On Tuesday, October 31st (Halloween) from 4:30 p.m. until 8 p.m., W. 5th Street from Oak Avenue to Schmidt Avenue will be closed to traffic for trick-or-treaters. The following streets will also be closed along W. 5th Street – Hardacre Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue, Adams Avenue, Drake Avenue, and Columbus Avenue. Due to the number of children who trick-or-treat in the area along W. 5th Street, we anticipate the side streets will be difficult to park on.
Please note that no parking will be allowed on W. 5th Street within the road closure limits. Trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the city limits. We recommend that patrons use the parking lots at the following locations:
- Our Lady of Peace lot is located behind the church
- SJ Miller Park
City staff wishes all trick-or-treaters a safe and fun event. We encourage all motorists to take extreme care throughout the city as many children will enjoy the event.
