Greenwich Moms host Greet & Treat Halloween extravaganza this Saturday

The Local Moms Network, the parent company of Greenwich Moms, is pleased to announce the return of Greet & Treat, a Halloween extravaganza taking place on Greenwich Avenue Saturday, October 28th from 11am- 3pm. Greenwich Moms has partnered with Greenwich Magazine to bring this celebration to the Avenue with trick-or-treating, a costume contest for a chance to win a $200 gift card to Funky Monkey and two fun-filled kids zones. 

Over 75 businesses on Greenwich Avenue and its side streets will be part of Greet & Treat with special goodies, costume characters, and in-store promotions. Guests will have the chance to meet with local business owners and learn more about what they do along their trick-or-treating experience, with each participating store marked by festive balloons. 

This year the event will feature two kids zones: one with a touch-a-truck police car / fire truck area, and the second offering a variety of activities including a DJ and bubble show. A number of food trucks will be on site including Dough Girls, Neil’s on Wheels, and Chicken Joe’s.

A family costume contest is also a recent addition to the event. Families can snap a photo of themselves in costume to share on Instagram and tag @greenwich_moms for a chance to win a $200 gift card to Funky Monkey. First Selectman Fred Camillo will attend Greet & Treat and serve as the judge of the costume contest. 

Greenwich Greet & Treat Presenting Sponsor is Stamford Health, an independent, non-profit health system who cares for the community through a wide range of high-quality health and wellness services. Patients and their families can expect to receive expert, compassionate care through the system’s 305-bed Stamford Hospital; Stamford Health Medical Group, with more than 40 offices in lower Fairfield County offering primary and specialty care, several of which are in Greenwich; a growing number of ambulatory locations across the region; and support through the Stamford Hospital Foundation. 

The Local Moms Network CEO and Greenwich Moms founder Layla Lisiewski said, "We're thrilled to team up with Greenwich Magazine to bring the community together to celebrate with Greet & Treat. It’s really special to help activate the Avenue like this for Halloween, and see all the smiling faces from families and our local business owners.”
