Downtown Shops Stay Open Late Tomorrow for Ghouls Night Out
Uvalde, TX · October 8, 2026
Storefronts along the plaza are stringing up fall garlands this morning ahead of tomorrow's evening rush. Before the weekend buzz arrives, tonight's 6:00 PM council update at City Hall is well worth an ear.
The Lead
Downtown shopkeepers are prepping their display windows and patio lights for one of the square’s liveliest autumn traditions tomorrow evening as Main Street hosts the annual Ghouls Night Out edition of Four Square Friday.
Running from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the monthly event keeps doors unlocked well past usual closing times, turning the central plaza district into a relaxed, walkable evening bazaar. Participating storefronts—including Gree’s Boutique, Doll Haus, Edwards Furniture, and neighboring spots along North Getty—are staging special discounts, seasonal treats, and sidewalk spaces for visiting craft artisans.
For downtown retailers, the themed gathering provides critical early foot traffic before the winter holiday shopping rush, while giving neighbors a cooler evening window to stroll the historic center. Shoppers can grab an event map from any participating shop before making the rounds across the square.
