Celebrating Halloween isn’t just for kids. If you want to hit the town and have fun without splurging at the theme parks, it’s still possible to enjoy Halloween in Orlando. Check out these adult-friendly events to make the most of this year’s spooky season.
Orlando Official Halloween Bar Crawl
Halloween weekend offers you a bar crawl with the chance to experience “adult-style trick or treating” as you hop from bar to bar in costume. The bar crawl will be on October 27 and 28, as well as October 21 if you already have Halloween plans that weekend. You can also look forward to a costume contest and after-party.
