It’s like trick or treat but for adults. On the last Thursday night of each summer month (June, July, August), tons of  Gastown stores will have surprises beyond their doors – deals, sales, promos, and in-store events like a live art creation, pop-up tattoo artist, Thai dance class, Dj’s, 5 cent popcorn, a Western music crooner, boot toss, and the list goes on and on. We’ll have a different roaming band each night, creating the soundtrack to your experience. Our restaurants will be down to make your night special – look for extended happy hours, specials, and other fancy happenings. Oh yeah…and if you do want to wear a costume, have at ‘er. There’s a selfie contest on our instagram each night with a $300 Gastown gift card up for grabs!
