7 unique ways to celebrate Halloween in Huntsville
Reading time: 4 minutes
The countdown to Halloween continues, and we’re officially less than one week away from the spookiest night of the year. Here are seven different ways you can celebrate Halloween in the Rocket City:
1. Trick-or-treat on Halloween night (or trunk-or-treat)
We asked our Kelly Plantation in Harvest made the list. The folks who live in Old Town Huntsville on Clinton Ave. estimated that they see anywhere from 500 to 600 trick-or-treaters each year.
If trick-or-treating isn’t your vibe, there are a ton of local trunk-or-treats upcoming. Truck-or-treating is like traditional trick-or-treating, but it occurs in a parking lot where parents take their children to get candy.

Maybe you’ve outgrown trick-or-treating but still want to dress up and celebrate Halloween. Check out these 12 Halloween parties happening in the Huntsville area this weekend. Our favorites include:
