Having a boo-tiful Halloween on AMI

ANNA MARIA ISLAND – It was a hauntingly good time this Halloween as hundreds of little ghouls, goblins, witches, princesses and even a few superheroes descended upon the Island for the annual Trail of Treats celebration.

The event, hosted by the Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce, stretched the length of the Island as businesses invited trick or treaters to come and collect candy from stops in Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria. The Trail of Treats has been an Island tradition for more than two decades. Though COVID-19 caused a two-year hiatus, the event came back this year on Oct. 31.

In addition to the candy collecting, the Chamber also sponsored a costume contest as a kick-off for the event in Holmes Beach. Participants in the event and costume contest came from the Island and as far away as Sweden and Germany.

Cooler than normal weather brought kids and parents out to the Anna Maria Chamber of Commerce Trail of Treats.

Chamber President Deb Wing said the entries in the costume contest were amazing. The annual Halloween event allows kids to trick or treat safely with Anna Maria Island Privateers and officers from the Holmes Beach Police Department stopping traffic at crosswalks so they can visit the stores for goodies.
