Main Street Treats, Final Outdoor Bazaars, and Weekend Pottery
Austin, CO · October 30, 2026
Costume capes and witch hats are getting their final adjustments across the valley this morning. Downtown festivities start right after school, so handle any cross-town errands before the central blocks shut down.
The Lead
Costumed youngsters will claim five blocks of downtown Delta this afternoon as the annual Main Street Trick-or-Treat takes over between 2nd and 7th streets from 2:00 to 6:00 PM. The gathering brings dozens of area businesses, service clubs, and first responders to the sidewalks with candy stops, games, and emergency trucks parked for kids to climb aboard. Just off the strip, the Delta CattleWomen are opening their popular "Creepy Cattle Carrier" haunted trailer at Sissons Feed and Ranch, offering a walkthrough with spooky ranch flair.
For valley drivers, the setup requires planning ahead: the City of Delta is closing that section of Main Street to all vehicle traffic from 1:00 to 6:30 PM, taking the corridor offline as a throughway. Once the wrappers are swept away tonight, attention shifts tomorrow morning to the season's final outdoor growers' markets.

Spotlight & Story
- Cedaredge
- Platted along Surface Creek in the late nineteenth century, the town took its name from a simple botanical boundary. Early homesteaders recognized the site as the exact tree line where the mesa’s scrubby Utah junipers—colloquially called cedars—give way to the open valley floor below.
