Triangle Town Center plans new Halloween event

Triangle Town Center has a new event planned for Halloween this year. Trick or Treat at the Mall is from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 26, at the north Raleigh mall off Capital Boulevard.

The afternoon includes mall-wide trick-or-treating, pumpkin painting led by some Star Wars and Frozen characters, balloon making, games, contests and other activities. Mall shops also are planning some special sales.

"We believe in community," says André Ivanchuk, director of marketing and retailer partnerships. "And we understand the importance and see the value in having a positive impact in the region. Through family-based programming, fun events and community engagements, we hope to create a true Town Center, a destination, an integral part of the community —a third place."
