NEW ULM – The annual Halloween Hop is returning to downtown New Ulm.

From 10 a.m to 12 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25 local businesses will be participating in an early trick-or-treat event, handing out candy and treats. There is no purchase necessary. For a list of participating businesses, visit newulm.com or visit the New Ulm Area Chamber office at 1 N. Minnesota Street.

This annual Halloween Hop is organized by the New Ulm Business and Retail Association (NUBRA), a committee of the Chamber of Commerce, as a way to bring the community together and to give local businesses a chance to say thank you for the community’s ongoing support.
