Natchitoches’ Martin Luther King Center played host to well over 1,000 young ghouls, superheroes and costumed figures of every description and their families as the Natchitoches Main Street Program held its Witch Way to Main Street Halloween event on Oct. 25. The gym was lined with booths staffed by various community businesses and organizations where the youngsters could try their hand at games and rake in lots of candy and treats. Deputies from the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Department were on hand to ensure safe fun for the children.
The event’s entertainment was none other than Natchitoches’ iconic Lagniappe Fusion Belly Dance Troupe who performed their “Witches’ Dance”, a perennial crowd favorite.
The popular event, started in 2000, is a long-standing community tradition that provides families a safe place for their little ones to have fun and trick or treat. This event is one of the many things that make life in our community so special. More than a few of the parents of the children dressed up were themselves trick or treaters at an earlier Witch Way to Main Street event.
