Trick or Treating

Collier county is a family filled community, with numerous family events. With homes decked from head to toe, kids excitedly knocking on doors, neighborhoods often come to life. Also, youngsters can safely trick-or-treat in a secure setting during special Halloween events held by multiple local malls and shopping centers. To ensure a cheerful environment, these gatherings frequently feature face painting, costume contests, and other enjoyable activities. For many local families, these get-togethers are a treasured tradition because of the strong sense of community they create. 

Ghost Tours and Nature Trails
Ghost Tours and Nature Trails

Take a ghost tour or experience Collier County’s natural beauty for a different take on Halloween. The area’s haunted past is made clear by a number of guided ghost tours, which take visitors to historic locations and tell scary stories of local legends. Many parks and nature trails, such as the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary offer evening hikes where you may take in the peaceful beauty of the outdoors under the moonlight for a more calm Halloween experience. Although these adventures aren’t specifically Halloween-themed, they might offer a moody setting for people who appreciate the creepy feel of the outdoors at night.

Halloween Movie Nights

Look for movie nights with a Halloween theme at neighborhood movie theaters and community centers. Many locations broadcast classic horror or family-friendly movies, sometimes encouraging visitors to dress up. Without the chill of haunted houses, these gatherings can be a warm way to spend the season with friends and popcorn. Regal is playing Coraline and Hocus Pocus leading up to the holiday, and all of the Terrifier movies.
