🎃 Tomorrow is the day! Downtown Trick or Treat is back from 4–6 PM!

Join us in downtown Chesterton as our local business community lines the streets to hand out candy to all the little ghosts and goblins! 👻🍬

A few important reminders to help keep everyone safe:

🚗 We ask that vehicles not participating in the event be moved off Broadway before 4 PM.

🍬 Businesses and participants should stop handing out candy promptly at 6 PM so we can safely clear the streets before they reopen to traffic.

Let's make it a fun and safe evening for everyone! We can't wait to see you downtown! 🎃

Flying in tomorrow, "Watch Out Humans Coming Through: The Plight of the Passenger Pigeon Expanded," is a multi-media art installation by Emily J Casella. This installation consists of two parts, one for each wall space in Ancillaerie: the 12 watercolor landscapes of trees’ relationship to telephone/power lines and the sculptural works presenting the extinction of the birds of the Columbidae family, commonly known as pigeons and doves. They combine to create a conversation of the past and present.

"We once had so many birds that made clouds in the sky, but now all I see are telephone lines."

Emily J Casella
