Towns across Garfield County take pride in hosting community events that bring neighbors together, especially during the holidays. Halloween is one of those times when main streets come alive — businesses open their doors, hand out candy, and join in the fun with local families. From the annual Trunk or Treat in downtown Rifle along Third Street and Railroad Avenue to the fall festivities on Silt’s Main Street and Highway 6, there’s always room for everyone to celebrate together.
