Pumpkins, costumes, and plenty of candy filled Perry Square as families headed downtown for the Downtown Fall Fest.<\/p>\n
There was a little something for everyone. Kids decorated pumpkins, filled their bags with candy, and checked out the cars lined up for trunk-or-treating.<\/p>\n
Families also made their way through the Flagship City District for even more trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n
And of course, people came dressed for the occasion.<\/p>\n
The costume contests included kids and adults, and even some four-legged contestants.<\/p>\n
“We love hosting events with the Erie Downtown Partnership for all the families in the community. It’s so fun to get people together, dressed up. We need a little joy and the kids had so much fun today,” said Emily Fetchko, CEO of the Erie Downtown Partnership. “We had pumpkins while they lasted. We had costume contests. The kids particularly really enjoyed that. It’s just fun to see kids playing in the heart of downtown and milling about downtown. It’s been a really great day and beautiful weather.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pumpkins, costumes, and plenty of candy filled Perry Square as families headed downtown for the Downtown Fall Fest.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[6695,136,138,137,6671,732,128052,3467],"class_list":["post-313600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-costume-contest","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news","tag-fall-festival","tag-halloween","tag-pumpkin-decorating","tag-trick-or-treat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
