Some traditions begin with a simple idea. Year after year, families return, memories are made, and an event becomes part of a community’s story.

For years, Halloween in Downtown Celina meant Trick-or-Treat on the Square. Families gathered Downtown, children dressed in their favorite costumes, and local businesses welcomed trick-or-treaters through their doors. It was a simple tradition that brought neighbors together.

In 2019, that tradition began a new chapter. With the creativity of current City Council member Philip Ferguson, Trick-or-Treat on the Square was reimagined as Beware! of the Square, building on the community tradition while giving it a new identity.

Today, Beware! of the Square is a mainstay on Celina’s annual events calendar and one of the community’s most anticipated celebrations.

What began as an evening of trick-or-treating has grown to include entertainment, activities, local vendors, and families making memories together. While the event has evolved, its heart remains the same: bringing the community together.

For longtime residents, the celebration brings back memories of walking the Square with their children and seeing familiar faces year after year. For newer families, it offers the chance to begin traditions their children may one day remember as part of growing up in Celina.

As Celina celebrates its 150th anniversary, Beware! of the Square reminds us that the city’s story is shaped not only by traditions passed down through generations, but also by the ones we continue to create today.

The costumes will change, the event will grow, and new families will join those who have celebrated for years. But the heart of the tradition remains the same: neighbors gathering Downtown, families making memories, and a community celebrating together.

Years from now, those memories will become part of Celina’s history, too.

Beware! of the Square returns Saturday, October 24, from 4:00–9:00 PM in Downtown Celina. Come be part of the tradition and help write the next chapter of Celina’s story!
