The awards ceremony, hosted by Stevo the Clown, will follow, leading into the Trick or Treat Parade around the shopping center.

Both the 808 Craft & Gift Fair and food trucks will operate from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on the upper level.

Notably, this year's contest introduces a new Best Adult Single 18+ category, offering adults a chance to showcase their creativity and compete for cash prizes.
