Twin Ports Area Halloween Events For 2019

The best time of the entire year is here: October! This means pumpkin patches, corn mazes and of course spooky, scary events.

Living in the Northland during Halloween is great because there is no shortage of amazing attractions to celebrate ghosts, goblins and ghouls.

This year is no different. There are a ton of different events that range from family friendly outings you can take your kids to to haunted attractions that will surely make you want to sleep with the lights on.

With so much going on, we decided to compile a list of events and happenings around the area so you can plan your October and live it to the fullest.

The events are organized by date, starting at the ones that kick off earlier this month and continue chronologically through October. The last events are ones that go on all month long.

Happy October!
