Hi!! I’m Paris, the founder of Trick or Treat Fest, proud Las Vegas native, and unapologetically year-round Halloween lover. 🎃🧡
I thought it might be fun to introduce myself and share how TOTF came to be! If I had to describe myself in one word, it would be ✨FESTIVE✨ (yes… in all caps 😂). I love any excuse to make life magical… holidays, birthdays, random Tuesdays. But Halloween has always been my favorite, not just because of the candy and costumes, but because of the feeling. That magic made from all the best parts of fall, creativity, community, and just the right amount of spooky that used to fill every neighborhood in October.
Over the years, I saw that old-school Halloween magic start to fade. Trick or treating was increasingly replaced by trunk or treats, the number of decorated homes dwindled, and everything felt so commercialized. The classic Halloween I loved was becoming a distant memory, and there was no way I was going to let that happen. I wanted to bring it back, not just for kids but for people of all ages who love the season as much as I do, and for those who never got to experience just how magical it can be… even if just for one day.
And that’s how Trick or Treat Fest was born! 🎃✨
When the idea came to me, I instantly knew the perfect place. I grew up visiting Clark County Museum and was always mesmerized by the grounds and the historic homes on Heritage Street. It’s a place like no other, where it truly feels like stepping back in time. I knew it needed to happen there, and I wanted it to support the museum and enrich the community in every way possible.
Our very first Trick or Treat Fest was something so special. We brought back that classic Halloween vibe, introduced a new generation to a local treasure, and directly supported the museum’s mission with a donation. Seeing families, volunteers, and small businesses come together to make it a reality truly made it one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping keep the spirit of Halloween alive. I can’t wait to share what comes next… and it may just be sooner than you think! 👀🎃🖤
