TRICK OR TREAT DOWNTOWN 4:00 – 6:00 PM
Immediately following our event at the Rec, we are excited to say Seacoast Trolley is back to bring families to downtown Newmarket on Main Street to local businesses for the 4:00 – 6:00 PM trick-or-treating aspect of the day. The route will start at the Newmarket Junior Senior High School parking lot, where there is plenty of parking, so no need to park downtown.
**NOTE: Trolley Rides to Downtown will now be exclusive to those who attended the 2 PM – 4 PM Rec Event. Required boarding passes will be given to attendees upon Rec Event entry.**
