It’s finally Halloween weekend and there is going to be a full moon for the celebrations. Stores shelves are getting ravaged of their Halloween costumes, candy and décor but there is still plenty to be had. It’s a fun time of year. Do you like to dress up or do like a good scare? Perhaps you just like to get out and enjoy some good old fashioned pumpkin carving. It is all still possible. To help you navigate these next few days, we’ve put together a list of the best Halloween events in Southwest Florida this weekend.
Many activities, parties and celebrations were canceled last year due to such widespread damage from Hurricane Ian. Party goers are ready to make up for lost time and it appears there are lots of places and events to accommodate. Halloween is not just for the little kids. There are lots of things for the big kids to do too. Sometimes I think adults have even more fun than kids with this holiday.
There are pet friendly events as well as canine costume contests for Halloween in Southwest Florida. We do have some tips to keep your pets safe this season. Check out the stories in the Trending Locally tab.
