Halloween on the Square Registration Now Open

Mark your calendars now for the Leonard Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Halloween on the Square on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Organizers are working to make this year’s event bigger and better – complete with a morning shopping stroll and ending with trick-or-treating that evening. A full schedule of events will be released soon, so keep an eye out!
Businesses/organizations wishing to setup a booth for trick-or-treaters are required to pre-register.

Stickers showing verified registration status will be handed out the day of the event at the Chamber tent. The registration form is available here: leonardchamber.com/halloween-on-the-square-registration. Registration deadline is Friday, Oct. 23.
