SEDONA, Ariz. – This Halloween, Friday, Oct. 31, 2025 from 5 to 8 p.m., the city of Sedona’s Parks and Recreation Department, the Sedona Police Department and Uptown merchants will partner to host trick or treating once again in the Uptown area.

Trick or treaters can expect the same safe and fun community experience this year, with hundreds of families coming out to enjoy this traditional Sedona event. Uptown merchants participating in the event will display “Participating Merchant” signage and will be well stocked with candy supplies.

In addition to the community coming together in costume, the Sedona Dance Academy and the Halloween Uptown Dancers will be performing the Thriller dance flash mob-style at the Sinagua Plaza at 320 State Route (SR) 89A, and the Sedona Fire Department will be hosting a Haunted Ambulance near Canyon Breeze shops at 300 SR 89A, with the Parks and Recreation Department booth nearby.

There will also be a community favorite costume contest, for kids as well as adults, in which participants can take a photo, post it onto social media and use the hashtag #SedonaHalloween. The costumes posted on social media with the most likes will win prizes consisting of gift cards from many of our Uptown merchant supporters!

This year’s Uptown Trick or Treat is sponsored in part by Arizona Public Service. The public is encouraged to find parking for this year’s event at the free parking lots located in the Uptown business district.
