🦇Costumes, Candy & Concerts: Halloween Weekend in the 315!

We’ve got a long newsletter for you this week.

We’ve scanned the internet for trunk or treat and trick or treat events across the 315 to get the most out of Halloween and make some great memories. Get a babysitter because there’s a metric s%&t ton of adult Halloween events and local music going on too.

🧛‍♂️ Around the 315: Where to Trick or Treat Across the 315  

It’s time to wrangle the kids, splatter the fake blood, and sort candy to collect the “parent tax.” Trick or treating is different from when we grew up. Exploring the neighborhood, ringing doorbells at houses with the light on isn’t as fruitful for our kids. 

The past few years, trunk or treating and organized trick or treating have taken over, and there’s no shortage in the 315.

We scanned the internet and found a pretty decent list of trick or treating and trunk or treating happening over the next couple of weeks. As always, tag us on social to share your 315 experiences.
