Halloween this year falls on a Friday, making it an official "Halloweekend". Here's a round up of some events for your itinerary

As luck (and the calendar) would have it, Halloween this year falls on a Friday, officially transforming the holiday into a full-blown "Halloweekend." This means the celebrations aren't just limited to one night; they're set to spill over, allowing for three full days of spooky festivities.

Whether your ideal celebration involves traditional trick-or-treating, hosting your own haunted gathering, or finding a major event to attend, Halloween is the perfect excuse to embrace your creative side, don a costume, and dive into the electric, chaotic energy of the city.

To help you plan your itinerary, we’ve scouted out some of the most exciting happenings. From decadent, dessert-forward events to unique themed slumber parties, we’ve rounded up some fun activities that you and your friends can consider joining.
