ROCKFORD — Midway Village Museum welcomed hundreds of costumed families to its Victorian Village on Saturday for its annual All Hallows Eve.

The trick-or-treating event has been a tradition since 1987 at the museum, 6799 Guilford Road.

Volunteers station candy stops in the historic village at more than 20 buildings, some which become mini haunted houses for the event.

Here’s a look at some of this year’s costumes and other images from the event:
