Nationwide Halloween Celebrations
Diverse Halloween Events Span Multiple Regions From Family Festivals To Haunted Trails
Anonymous
October Halloween offerings include family activities, community events and scarier nighttime attractions. In Bridgeport, the Discovery Museum’s Trick Or Treat Fest takes place Oct. 17 with a candy trail, crafts, characters, games and performances, while Derby’s Golden Ghouls pairs a Golden Girls-themed drag show with lunch. Around Lacey, seasonal options include Argos Farm’s Jacks & Lights pumpkin trail, a Poe-themed vendor fair, the Nightmare At Gille Park haunted trail and Halloween trivia; in Mackinaw City, Fort Fright runs Oct. 2–3 at Colonial Michilimackinac with French-Canadian folklore, lantern-lit paths, campfire stories and haunted attractions. San Diego’s Wild Hare Bar Garden is adding Halloween questions and costumes to its trivia programming, as Halloween continues to be celebrated as a season with early planning and “Summerween” trends.
