Downtown Lee’s Summit is changing up their annual Boos, Barks & Badges event from a walking parade to a block party on Saturday, Oct. 26.

• Due to construction, there’s no walking parade this year
• Head to SE Main St at 9:30 a.m. for the Costume Contest
• Trick-or-Treat until Noon (or the candy runs out)
• See vehicles from the Police and Fire Departments

While City Hall Plaza is currently under construction, attendees can park in the free garage at 2nd and Green Street and head straight up to SE Main Street to enjoy games, face painting, balloon animals, and trick-or-treating.

The event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. with a Costume Contest in Howard Station Park. Bring the whole family, along with your furry friends of course, to participate for a chance to win prizes and awards in five categories.
