Trail & Treat on the Canal

Join us for Trail and Treat on the Canal! This FREE family-friendly event features a safe, well-lit route with several stops to collect treats and do fun activities along the scenic Downtown Canal.

The trick-or-treat has no official start, direction, or order. Go to a few stops or complete them all! Walk, run, stroll, or bike between each stop with confidence knowing that the route is car-free and well-lit. You do not need to scan a ticket or check-in to begin.

Trail & Treat is FREE to the public and family (and dog) friendly. All ages and abiliites are welcome, but registration is strongly encouraged.

Trail & Treat on the Canal is powered by PNC Foundation and made possible through a partnership between the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and the Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development. It is supported by a variety of community partners, organizations, and local businesses hosting stops along the route.
