💡 Know Before You Go

🎃 Arrive early — family events are busiest in the first two hours; early arrival means shorter lines for activities.

🎃 Bring a candy bag per kid — plus a spare; trunk-or-treats are generous.

🎃 Costumes should be walkable — kids will be on their feet; comfy shoes under the costume save the day.

🎃 Pack snacks and water — sugar is everywhere, but a real snack keeps energy steady.

🎃 Check the rain plan — many family events move indoors or reschedule; check socials the morning of.
