🍬 Where To Trick-or-Treat

Everyone and their mother (literally) heads to Daybreak for trick-or-treating. For one, they always go all out in terms of Halloween decor, and the neighborhoods are incredibly walkable.

Reddit users also rave about the Yalecrest/Liberty Wells area for full-size candy bars. In past years, Windsor Street (between 900 South and 1300 South) has even closed to traffic on Halloween.

🚲 Halloween Ride

If your broom is out of commission, take your bike on a Halloween ride tonight at 6 p.m. with Unplugged Wellness. Meet at Loki Coffee and come dressed in your costume.
