WARSAW — The annual downtown Warsaw Spooktacular celebration drew thousands of ghosts, ghouls, princesses, heroes and more.

The event, organized by Warsaw Community Development Corporation, Miller’s Senior Living Community and the Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club drew those of all ages to the downtown area to gather treats from local businesses.

Though trick-or-treating was the main draw of the event, costumed guests were also invited to participate in a costume contest at the conclusion of the event. Contestants were invited to participate in numerous age groups.

To accommodate the event, Center Street between Lake Street and Indiana Street as well as Buffalo Street between Main Street and Market Street were closed.
