This is it, folks. For Halloween, you either go big (we’re talking kooky costumes, planned excursions, giant pumpkins, full-size candy bars) or you sit home, wishing you had more than a bowlful of Smarties to celebrate. Halloween in America is not a low-effort drill. And no one knows this better than the volunteers, organizers, and attendees of these epic Halloween events.
So let’s plan ahead this year, shall we? Book that trip to a haunted city, craft that scary costume or get to a pumpkin show before it sells out! Here are a few ideas for you: Get some friends together to build and race a coffin in Colorado (yes, that’s really a thing). Or learn the “Thriller” dance in time to make it out to the Lexington, Kentucky, or New York City Halloween parades. Go full camp and dress to impress at the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval. There are always lots of options when it comes to the best Halloween events in the U.S.
