Haunts & Harvest Window Walk - Experience Downtown

Friday, October 17 thru Friday, October 31

Take in the scenes of our annual Downtown autumn display contest!

Join us this October for a spook-tacular celebration of fall! The Downtown Traverse City Association (DTCA) hosts the Haunts & Harvest Window Walk, a newly perennial Downtown Traverse City event where local merchants compete to create the most eye-catching window displays, and YOU get to help choose the winners.

From Friday, October 17, to Friday, October 31, stroll through downtown and admire the “fall festive” or “spooky season” window exhibits that our local businesses have crafted. Whether you’re here for the vibrant autumn colors, a bit of frightening fun, or a chance to support your favorite shops, this event is for everyone!

How to Participate

Explore Downtown: Shop and walk through Downtown Traverse City to see the creative displays in each storefront.
Vote for your fave: Cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award.
How to vote: Beginning October 17, you can vote by scanning QR codes at participating storefronts or through our online voting form to be posted.

Why Visit?

The Haunts & Harvest Window Walk is a great way to experience the spirit of the season, enjoy the creativity of our downtown community, and discover local shops and businesses. We encourage everyone – locals and visitors alike – to join the fun, explore the displays, and vote often!

Stay tuned for the voting form and more details. Follow us on social media for updates!
