A free family event: Safe Haven Trick or Treating at the Mesa Market Place Swap Meet!

Bring all your ghosts and goblins in costume and let then trick or treat their way through 1600 booths starting at the Food Court! Trick or Treaters will each get a trick or treat bag and will enjoy contests, surprises, and treats throughout the day.

We’ll also have face painters here to make your costumes complete!

Merchants join in the festivities, too, by offering up candy, treats, and toys! “We have 900 merchants stocking 1600 shop spaces! I think this is the biggest daylight ‘Trick or Treat’ event in the state of Arizona,” said Joan Wells, Market Place event organizer.
