According to the Travel Market Report, the 10 best places to spend Halloween are as follows. Top of the list is Anoka, Minnesota. “About a week before Halloween, the city hosts a Light Up the Night parade. Then, on Halloween weekend, locals and visitors alike dress in costumes and walk in the famous Grande Day Parade. Other events in October include costumed Bingo nights, the coronation of the new Anoka Halloween Ambassador, and a house decorating contest.”
Next on the list is Sleep Hallow, NY. “Visitors can tour the historic, 90-acre Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and visit Irving’s grave. They can also see Irving’s estate, learn about his life and legacy, and witness live re-enactments of his spooky story. Other attractions in Sleepy Hollow and nearby Tarrytown include The Great Jack-o-Lantern Blaze, which features artistically carved pumpkins lighting up the night sky, ghost tours, a Halloween parade, haunted hayrides, streets fairs, and a farmer’s market.
And of course there is Salem, Massachusetts, Orlando theme parks as well as St. Helen, Oregon, Dallas, Texas, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Independence, Kansas and Las Vegas. Contact us at ceciliaw@wheelervacations.com for more details and if you want to book your Halloween at one of these locations.
