Boo to you!
It’s go time, kids. The spookiest week of the year culminates in the one day when it’s not only acceptable but expected that you walk the dark streets of your neighborhood knocking on strangers doors asking for candy. Plus, parents actually tolerate you eating fistfuls of candy right up until bedtime for this one night only. It’s the holy grail of childhood traditions. And what a fine celebration it is.
While we wait for sundown on Thursday, October 31, there are lots of chances to dress up and celebrate Halloween in NEPA with friends. Hit up a trunk or treat, a costume contest or check out a glowing pumpkin trail this weekend. We’ve rounded up fifteen events to hold you over until All Hallows’ Eve. Hope your Halloween is a total scream!
