Rain date, Sunday, September 27, 9:00am to 1:00pm. Paint a window by yourself or grab your friend or parent and paint one window together. All windows must have a family friendly Halloween theme.

Entries are accepted on a first come-first served basis. Space is guaranteed to the first 60 entries. Registration site closes when all slots are filled. 

During the week of September 21, painters will be emailed their window assignment, a rules and information flyer, and a list of window painting supplies and tips.

A $30 registration fee covers paint supplies purchased locally (an assortment of paint brushes and seven acrylic paints in a pre-selected color palette, which will be available to painters on the day of the event).

Eligibility: All residents and any individuals who attend a school in Arlington are eligible for this event. Painters under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

The paintings will remain on display throughout the month of October, in time for the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Annual Heights Halloween Stroll.

This event is organized by the Arlington Heights Community Association and the Arlington Chamber of Commerce.

The Arlington Heights Community Association (AHCA) is a group of Heights business owners, residents, and non-profits who meet monthly to address local issues and concerns, support beautification projects, and organize public events in the Heights such as three seasonal window paintings, the Holiday Stroll and the Spring Fling.
