Celebrate Halloween with a Story Walk by taking a stroll down from Hyde Square to Jackson Square and grab a kids’ activity bag with games and treats.
The Story Walk can be completed at any time between October 26th and 31st. While walking you read from the children’s book Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book by Yuyi Morales, which will be hanging in business windows from October 26th to October 31st.
