It’s a Happy Halloween season downtown this week!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Halloween Window D\u00e9cor Contest<\/a> has Downtown Santa Barbara\u00a0judges hitting the street to critique the spooky Halloween windows, and you can judge for yourself until October 31<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure to keep an eye on Lovebird<\/a> (535 State St.) \u2013 In celebration of Halloween they have replaced their mannequins with skeletons. Each day, they\u2019ll dress the skeletons in new outfits and create a scene involving and promoting a local Downtown Santa Barbara business. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis idea appealed to us because we want to support downtown and do what we can to help revitalize State Street while having a good time,\u201d says owner Jennifer Scarbrough. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep it up through November 3<\/span>rd<\/sup><\/span> \u2013 Day of the Dead!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Also in the mix is the annual Downtown\u00a0<\/span>Halloween Trick or Treat on Wednesday, October 31 from 3-6 p.m. for\u00a0<\/span>any and all kids in costumes. Bring your own treat bag and look for balloons and window signs for the Downtown businesses handing out treats.<\/span><\/p>\n
