Traverse City Plans Free Halloween Events

This Halloween season, Paristown in Louisville is hosting the Jack Daniel's Wicked Garden from October 25-27, featuring concerts, an automotive festival, and costume contests, culminating in a Halloween 5K Fun Run. Meanwhile, Morton, Illinois, celebrates its title as the pumpkin capital of the world, with a factory processing nearly 2 million tons of pumpkins annually, contributing to the town's local economy and culture. In New York City, public testimony at a zoning initiative meeting was disrupted by Council Member Vickie Paladino, who criticized a speaker's background, highlighting ongoing tensions in local governance. West Coast cities are gearing up for Halloween with spooky tours and haunted experiences, including ghost tours in Seattle and San Francisco. Traverse City is also embracing the Halloween spirit with a series of community events including 'Gourdoween' and a Downtown Halloween Walk, leading up to trick-or-treating on October 31. These diverse celebrations reflect the festive and communal spirit of Halloween across various regions.
