As the clock struck six, the festivities were officially kicked off by DJ Jake Whitlow, whose announcement signaled the start of the much-anticipated candy drop. This event drew families and children from all over, eager to partake in the Halloween tradition. The streets soon filled with a zigzagging line of costumed revelers, each embodying a character from the realms of fantasy and fiction. Wizards, fairies, and princesses mingled with superheroes and creatures of all kinds, creating a scene that was both whimsical and heartwarming.
