A Halloween celebration on Oct. 31 from 3 to 6 p.m. in Old Town Monrovia and Library Park will offer an afternoon filled with free ghoulish fun for the whole family.

• and much more.

The trick-or-treat event in Old Town is sponsored by the Monrovia Old Town Advisory Board. 

The Halloween costume contest will be held in Library Park and is free of charge with registration beginning at 3 p.m. — “don’t forget to also register your furry friend in the dog costume contest,” event organizers said in a statement.

These streets will be closed from 1 to 7 p.m.:

• Myrtle Avenue from Palm to Walnut avenues;
• the 100 block of West Palm Avenue; and
• the 100 block of West Lime Avenue, but the mid-block parking lot will remain open for merchants and patrons.
