This Weekend in Norcross

The direct answer: Halloween weekend is Norcross' biggest two days of the season. The Día de los Muertos Festival fills Thrasher Park on Friday, October 30, 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., and downtown trick-or-treating runs on Halloween afternoon, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., along the historic brick streets.

Both are confirmed on Explore Gwinnett's Halloween guide; this page only lists what is confirmed.

What never needs a date

The evergreen standbys

When the calendar is quiet, the at-the-door options are not: the historic square, Lillian Webb Park, and the downtown restaurants all run without a ticket.
