🎃🍬 SHELBYVILLE, GET READY! THIS YEAR’S CANDY RUN IS GOING TO BE HUGE!! 👻🍭
Not Downtown VS. West End, but ALL OF SHELBYVILLE is getting in on the Halloween fun, TOGETHER! 🧡
Our community is coming together to make this one of the BIGGEST and BEST Candy Runs yet, and we couldn’t be more excited!
With more participating businesses, more candy, a costume contest, and plenty of Halloween fun, there’s a LOT of ground to cover! Whether your family tackles the whole thing or just a portion of it, we promise there’s plenty of fun to be had!
🗓️ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30!
🍭 5:00–7:00 PM | WEST END CANDY RUN
That’s right! The West End businesses are kicking things off ONE HOUR EARLIER than Downtown! Participating West End locations are listed on the purple West End flyer.
👻 5:30 PM | COSTUME CONTEST
📍 Main Street School Playground
Sponsored by HSHS! Bring those little ghosts, goblins, princesses, superheroes, and everything in between!
🎃 6:00 PM | DOWNTOWN CANDY RUN
Main Street comes alive with participating businesses handing out treats to all our little trick-or-treaters! All businesses pictured in our post, other than those specifically listed on the West End flyer, will be set up DOWNTOWN!
🚨 NOW, LET’S TALK SAFETY! 🚨
With so many families expected to join us, keeping everyone safe is our TOP priority!
🚒 Our wonderful Shelbyville Fire Department will be helping families cross safely at the courthouse!
🚦 School zone safety lights will be flashing during the event!
⚠️ PLEASE ONLY CROSS MAIN STREET AT DESIGNATED CROSSINGS! That means the stoplights and the firefighter-assisted crossing at the courthouse. Please do NOT cross between parked cars or wherever it’s convenient. We know those little legs are excited to get to the next candy stop, but a few extra steps are worth keeping everyone safe!
And parents, please keep those kiddos close and help us watch out for one another. ❤️
🧡 NOW FOR THE PART THAT MAKES THIS EVENT SO SPECIAL…
OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!
Every single participating business is taking time, spending money, buying candy, and putting in extra effort to make Halloween a little more magical for the children of Shelbyville and surrounding communities.
THAT is what small-town community spirit looks like!
So here’s a little challenge for everyone attending: Take a few minutes to visit the pages of the participating businesses and GIVE THEM A FOLLOW! 👍
It’s free, it takes seconds, and it’s a wonderful way to show your appreciation for the businesses that continue to show up for our community. And while you’re at it, remember them the next time you’re shopping, dining, or looking for a local service!
A huge thank-you to every participating business, our Shelbyville Fire Department, HSHS, and everyone helping make this event possible!
The Greater Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce is so excited to see our town come alive with costumes, candy, laughter, and families making memories together.
One town. One BIG Candy Run. A WHOLE LOT OF HALLOWEEN FUN! 🎃🍬👻
Let’s make this our BEST Candy Run yet, Shelbyville!
