Halloween used to feel like a “one and done” holiday. Sure there are plenty of fall decorations and pumpkin flavored beverages to keep us spirited until Thanksgiving. But the actual Halloween magic, the spooks, the scares, the skeletons in the closet used to only be enjoyed (or not...) on that one energy-filled evening. With where we live, you could celebrate Halloween in kid-friendly and adult-only ways weeks early! Just make sure you get the jump on those early parties and trunk-or-treats by grabbing that perfect costume. Here are some more local Halloween festivities for you to mark in your calendar, as well as some ideas to extend the life of those spider webs and cauldrons.
10/19 - Kids Halloween Scavenger Hunt 2019: Downtown Pleasanton. 10am-12pm
10/26 and 10/27 - Halloween Spooktacular & Ghost Train 2019: Pixieland, Concord. 10:30am-4:30pm
10/26 - 9th Annual Halloween Brew Crawl 2019: Downtown Pleasanton. 5-8pm
10/26 - Trunk or Treat: Rolling Hills Community Church. 4-6pm
Halloween-themed Ideas:
*Do you or your child have an October birthday? Make it a costume party this year! Parents will love the chance to stretch those costumes, and adults will love the chance to bask in a bit of nostalgia, but you know, with beer!
*Start a harmless prank war with your best buds or family members.
*Check online for halloween craft ideas. You could make monsters, spiders, robots, ghosts, all out of items you probably have around the house.
*Movies! There are too many great Halloween movies to list. But if staying in is more your thing, start the month off with the carefree, “happy-ending”-type films, and spend the next four weeks working up to those pull-the-blankets-up-to-your-eyesand-remind-yourself-that-it’s-just-not-real movies.
